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

While not quite at its usual level this is certainly a fine effort in the context of the vintage

This concentrated effort is very Chambolle in basic character

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

A mini-masterpiece

Sadie Family, Pofadder other_regions_italy The brightness and overall buoyantThe 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.
