Score 95/100 · Drink 2022-2040, Neal Martin, Nov 2019

The 2016 Kershaw Deconstructed Groenland Bokkeveld Shale SH9c has a stunning bouquet of blackberry, wild rose petals, hints of iodine and Provençal herbs, with absolutely brilliant delineation and sense of comeliness. You could inhale this all day. The medium-bodied palate offers sappy blackberry and blueberry fruit, moderate acidity and a seamless, satin-textured finish that lingers in the mouth. Irresistible.

The 2016 Deconstructed Syrah Groenland Bokkeveld Shale SH9c reveals a smoky bacon, blackberry and black plum nose with subtle hints of lavender. The palate is rich with cracked peppercorn notes and refreshing elegance. It has a floral finish, still with grippy tannins. Give this one some time and your patience will be rewarded. The deconstructed Syrah lineup is interesting in that Kershaw has used two places to grow two different clones of Syrah but has made three bottlings from the possibilities. There were 621 bottles made of the Groenland SH9c Syrah.

Clove and anise with a touch of herby, stemmy funk and loads of ripe bramble fruit. Close to jamminess on the palate, yet the fresh acid keeps it moreish. (RH)
