Pofadder

Blood and raw meat from the start - proper primal stuff. Then cranberry creeps in with roses, earth, underbrush, spices layering up. Extremely subtle despite that savage opening, loaded with nuances that keep revealing themselves. Cool, complex, the finish goes on forever. Watched this evolve in a glass, getting more beautiful with each minute - the kind of wine that makes you regret opening it too early. Still needs cellar time but this was my last bottle. Fuck. Eben's iron-rich slate soils giving Cinsault this mineral violence wrapped in silk. The puff adder strikes gently but leaves you paralyzed.

This wine, reminiscent of blood and raw meat, is enriched with more cranberry, hints of roses, earth, underbrush, and spices. It is extremely subtle, loaded with nuances. A cool and complex wine, it features a long aftertaste and impresses with its intricacy. A truly exciting find that develops over the evening into something more and more beautiful.

This wine captivates me with its enchanting and delicate bouquet, blending notes of barberry candy, blood, red flowers, and subtle animalistic undertones. It's juicy, sophisticated, and evolves beautifully, nearing perfect balance. Its nuanced complexity and graceful presentation make it a wine I can't help but love.

In my opinion, Pofadder is a benchmark Cinsault. It shows how complex, delicate and freaking delicious it can be. The 2022 Pofadder is too young but so attractive even today.

An alluring, delicate and mineral bouquet of barberry candy, blood and red flowers with some animalistic hints. Juicy, sophisticated, evolving and almost perfectly balanced. A wine you can enjoy over a full evening without switching your focus to anything else.
