  20 minutes of air and the nose opened up, not bad to start, very earthy and tart, now bright cherry, raspberry and earthy notes. Taste tart cherry, finish long and perfect balance. This wine is one a good one and drinking well right now

  What a homerun! I have struggled a bit with a couple of previous vintages of Dupratt but this is magnificent! Soaring nose of the finest kind. Absolutely stunning, thrilling, goosebump-inducing. Palate is great as well, almost keeping up with the exceptionnal nose. The high acidity I have previously found here, has ripened sufficiently in 2014 and the wine is fresh, lively and balanced and not sharp. Absolutely beautiful!

  Clear medium garnet; clean medium plus nose of dried blueberries, red currants, Christmas cake, balsamic with a beautiful, delicate florality; dry; medium plus acidity; medium tannins; high alcohol; medium plus body; medium plus flavour intensity; palate is tarter and follows nose; medium plus to long finish; drinking beautifully now; holding up much better than Montafi Ranch but I’m not sure it will improve much more - drink by 2026; stunning wine - the nose is beguiling and the body is silky precision; fantastic value!
