The Mascot 2009 is a blend crafted from the younger vines of Harlan Estate and Bond Estates, managed by Will Harlan. This vintage benefited from a temperate growing season, marked by warmth without extremes. The harvest was characterised by morning fog and moderate temperatures, allowing for a gradual ripening process. The resulting wine presents a dense profile with dark fruit aromas, complemented by notes of spice and earthy undertones. The tannin structure displays a more masculine character, suggesting strong ageing potential over the next two decades.
