Lovely waxy

The brightness and overall buoyant lift to the bouquet is very attractive

It was fermented in barrel without malolactic

the middle weight flavors possess a sleeker and more refined texture that is aided by the abundant dry extract that buffers the firm but not rustic tannins shaping the impressively persistent finish

I have always had a weakness for Roberto Voerzio's 2000 Barolo Cerequio

Sadie Family, Pofadder other_regions_italy Lovely waxyThe 2023 Pofadder, 100% Cinsault planted in schist, has a floral bouquet, white flowers, rose petals, bright wild strawberry and cranberry, with a little more mineralit than the Soldaat. The palate is medium bodied with crunchy red fruit. Its perhaps the most tensile of any Pofadder Ive tasted, culminating in a linear finish with life affirming frisson. There is an effortless brilliance about this Pofaddereven better than last year's offering.
