2018 Chateau Capbern Saint-Estephe
£22.00
“The 2018 Château Capbern checks in as a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blend that includes 37% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, all of which was brought up in 60% new barrels. It has a deep, dark, earthy, classic Saint-Estèphe bouquet that gives up lots of cassis and almost blue fruits as well as ample chocolate, damp earth, and leafy herb-like aromas and flavors. With a full-bodied, rich, opulent mouthfeel, loads of sumptuous dark fruits, sweet tannins, and a great finish, this brilliant 2018 brings lots of fruit and opulence, yet stays weightless and balanced, with solid underlying structure. A hidden gem in the vintage, this is every bit as good as the 2016, and it’s going to shine for two decades or more.”
Sitting on the eastern edge of the village of St-Estèphe, under the same ownership as Calon-Segur, with the same top winemaking team, and well-placed vineyards which take advantage of the gravel and clay-rich soils of the northern Médoc, Capbern is one of the hidden gems Bordeaux that offers excellent value for money.
