Sadie Family Old Vine Pofadder Swartland
| Vintage: | 2014 |
|---|---|
| Description: | 'Old Vine Series'. 100% old vine Cinsault. Whole cluster fermented from the vineyard of the same name (named for the snake like mountain range above it), the clusters are foot trodden for punchdown twice daily to slowly release the juice. After one month on the skins, the must is hand transferred to the basket press and pressed directly into old casks, where it rests for one year prior to bottling. 450 cases produced. Review by Neal Martin. eRobertParker.com # Interim - November 2015 (Nov 2015). Rating: 93. Drink 2016 - 2030. From 48-year-old vine Cinsault grown on slate soils, the 2014 Old Vine Series Pofadder has an extremely pure bouquet, less tertiary than the 2014 Soldaat (grown on decomposed sandstone), with touches of pressed flowers infusing the fresh strawberry and redcurrant fruit. With aeration, there is an intriguing incense/potpourri note. The palate is taut and crisp, brimming over with tension and extremely focused with slightly more brittle tannins than the Soldaat -- lending the chalky-textured finish fine symmetry, albeit without quite the same sustain. It might sound odd, but it tastes fabulous. |
