Aromas of gentle red fruit give way, eventually, to a savory darkness and finely wrought core. An effortless, structural tension transforms into a silky softness on the palate that envelopes The Mascot's inner depth and dimension. The vintage resonates rather than roars: its intricate threads of tannin, acidity, and nuance interweave to form a complete expression that shimmers with sensory detail.

On the nose, the 2023 vintage has aromas of pomegranate, white tea, and raspberry. The palate has flavors of dried fig, white truffle, and ripe cherry. Rooibos tea notes with a savory texture.
