From the same producer

The 2022 Pofadder has delicate red fruit flavors with great purity and a linear quality. The wine also has soft oriental spices and earthy aromas on the outer edges, suggesting that it will become more complex over time. The same fruit and deeper earthy aspects carry through to the mouthfeel and taste, giving this Cinsaut a more serious style. The tannins are remarkably smooth with softer acidity, which is a characteristic of many 2022 wines.

Robert Parker (RP) : 94+ Points (2022)

Red-fruited and softly spicy, the 2022 Old Vine Series Pofadder offers ample floral expressions with crunchy red fruit aromas that display a pure and fresh expression of Cinsault. Medium to full-bodied and with 14% alcohol, the palate is fresh and mineral driven before a firm tannic grip clamps down, telling me it's much too young right now. With a fine acid backbone, this beauty will continue to shine with elegance and finesse for more than a decade. It's immensely pleasurable and has me craving duck breast. Only 5,000 bottles were produced from 50% whole-cluster Cinsault. Speaking with Eben Sadie, he believes it’s their best Cinsault since 2012.

Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 96 Points (2018)

The 2018 Pofadder in Eben Sadie’s Cinsault from Swartland. This is complex and intellectual, yet utterly compelling, with beautifully detailed brambly red berry fruit, fennel, thyme and fynbos scents that blossom with aeration. The very detailed palate displays filigreed tannins, incredible focus and arresting purity through to the lightly spiced finish. This is one of the best from Sadie this vintage. (11/2019)

Wine Spectator (WS) : 93 Points (2018)

Elegant, with white peach, heather and lemon verbena flavors at the core, framed by savory herbal details and salty notes. Stylistically precise and focused, this features a stunning structure that needs a bit more time, but there is no doubt that this will develop beautifully. (AZ) (12/2019)
