Château Capbern

Château Capbern

St. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Pretty color of dark ruby with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black currants, black plums, light oak, spices, tobacco leaf and dark chocolates.

Medium plus in body and elegant, with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with blueberries, cooked cherries, black currants, plums, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, spices and black pepper.

Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Saint Estephe. Elegant, and still very fruit forward, for a 10 year old wine.

Will continue to age nicely in the next few years, but already drinking beautifully now. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Wine Enthusiasts 93 points. Wine Spectator 89 points.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. Aged in (60% new) French oak barrels for 18 months.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$35.

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Always felt this wine a bit boring, even in a **** vintage. A recent Capbern had more depth and cigar spice. — 8 months ago

Agreed. To be fair, Capbern punches way above its weight. I dig those wines

Château Ormes de Pez

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

2019 vintage. An estate owned by the Cazes family (Lynch Bages, Haut Batailley). A blend of Merlot (50%), Cabernet Sauvignon (40%), Cabernet Franc (7%) and Petit Verdot (3%). Less flashy compared to the Capbern 2019 tasted yesterday, give it some time to open up. Even with the high Merlot percentage, it has more of a dark Cabernet Sauvignon personality with black fruit and a serious, slightly severe tannic backbone. Abv. 14,5 %. — 4 years ago
