92+ AG. "The just-bottled 2010 The Mason possesses remarkable depth and intensity. Dark blue and black-toned fruits, menthol, violets and cloves all meld together in a sumptuous, powerful wine built on pure resonance. White flowers, blood orange, spice and floral notes all add lift as the wine opens up in the glass. The 2010 will almost certainly be even better than this note suggests once it comes together more fully. The 2010 was bottled the day before this tasting. In 2010, The Mason is 50% Mourvèdre, 40% Syrah and 10% Grenache." Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, Jul 2014 |
