Milder structure and better balance since last bottle sampled a couple years ago. Short decant. Dark fruit and berries, chocolate and cedar. Rich and satisfying. Good acidity for steak. Great balance with integrated tannins and a long finish.
Sexy, elegant, beautiful delicious wine. Had it with filet and paired extremely well. I think the wine is at peak and improved since last bottle 3 years ago. Will remain at this level for a few years I think.

Great after 2 hr decant. Tight early after opening. Tannins are very well integrated. Good dark fruit. Paired well with wagyu strip steak.

10 years from vintage date seems to be the sweet spot for the Mascot. It’s really hitting its stride now with a full 45 second finish. Great wine!

Wow, had this with NY strip steak for NYE dinner. At 10 years of age it’s drinking at its prime. Love it!!
