Sulphur. Pale straw. Little fruit except tart lime/lemon zest. Steely minerality. Petrol/kerosine. Bond dry. Explosive / extremely prickly salty acidity. Very salty and saline and energetic on the palate. Tannic and powerful. — 9 months ago

Celebrating with a couple of fun wines tonight. 2 hour decant(lots of chunky/fine sediment). A marvelous dark garnet with bricking. On the nose: expressive notes of red fruit, dusty soil, vanilla oak, mint, damp leaves. Taste: a velvety mouth coating, soft, concentrated wine with black cherry, sweet spice, cinnamon, tar, and a cedar/dark chocolate long finish. YUM and YUM again!...wish I had more bottles — 8 months ago
The Mascot is made from the young vines of Harlan, Promitory and Bond and you can really taste the royal pedigree here. Still in the fruit/primary phase with drying tannins. Very singular palate with a lot of concentration. Give these some additional cellar time to really shine. 95/96 potential — 7 months ago

The 2013 Quella is fabulous. Bright, racy and vibrant, the 2013 is just magnificent. There's plenty of tannin and structure, but it’s all woven so well into the wine's frame. Crushed rose petals, spice, mint, new leather and cedar build into the dense, resonant finish. The 2013 has blossomed into a truly exceptional wine. Superb. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2024)
