The 2019 Pofadder contains 80% whole-cluster Cinsault matured in used foudre. It has an extremely well-defined bouquet of pine cones and mint-infused red fruit. The palate is well balanced with good grip on the entry, a mixture of raspberry and wild strawberry fruit leading to an herbal finish that just needs a little more grip and density. Still, this is an excellent OVS from Sadie, though I would not put it at the top of the pile this year. (Neal Martin, Vinous, April 2021)

Super juicy and enjoyable. While it lacks mid palate depth and sincerity, it still wins you over with its great fruit presence and complete purity. Naked fruit expression and just wonderful to drink.
