95/100 — Winepilot · 2020 Vintage, Tasted: Sep 2023
“Co-named the ‘Mother Vine’ Shiraz as the vineyard was planted from the cuttings of one single Shiraz vine found growing among the 1853 Old Garden Mourvèdre vineyard. 33% whole bunch fermentation and matured for 20 months in new and used French oak barriques. Heavy packaging, classic labelling and bottled under DIAM. Potent and powerful nose offering a near full immersive experience from scent alone. Dripping with plum, licorice all-sorts, creamy instant coffee, clove and bazaar spice, toasted chocolate pop-tart, blood orange and hibiscus flower. Flowing, full and concentrated. Charry meaty depth with muscular, brooding scowls. The balance is done with sandy, fine tannins and quite cutting acidity giving a cool-mint refreshment through the long, drying finish. Unique and potent.”

James Suckling · 2020 Vintage, Tasted: Nov 2022
“This has an attractive spiced blue fruit character with notes of plum skins, ground pepper, dried orange peel, crushed violets and tea leaves. Some wet soil, too. Medium- to full-bodied with ultra fine tannins and a chalky texture. Crunchy and succulent on the palate with cherries and blueberries. It has some salinity to it and notes of crushed stones to close. Delicate and polished finish. Planted in 1853. Drink or hold.”
