Den Chateau Capbern 2020 Saint Estephe beschreibt Fallstaff wie folgt:
Mehr Bordeaux zu diesem Preis als bei diesem Nachbarn von Calon-Ségur unter selber Leitung ist kaum vorstellbar. Dezentes boisée, reifer Merlot (Kakaobohne) trifft pfeffrigen, cassisfruchtigen Cabernet. Im Mund wie Samt und Seide, fein fließend, reif integrierte Säure, ein Wein aus einem Guss. Dürfte nach fünf Jahren trinkbar sein und mühelos 20 Jahre halten.
Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Capbern 2020 Saint Estephe :
The 2020 Capbern offers up aromas of sweet cassis, plums, pencil shavings, loamy soil and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and seamless palate that's polished, penetrating and dynamic. It's a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Petit Verdot and the balance Merlot, produced by Vincent Millet and his team from Calon Ségur.
James Suckling im Dezember 2022:
This is pretty and aromatic with ripe black cherries and blackberries as well as hints of chocolate, sweet spices and nut shell. Full-bodied with a deep character of mellow black fruit. Firm and structured with ripe, fine-grained tannins and a velvety finish. Try after 2025.
Jeb Dunnuck im März 2023:
Another terrific Saint- Estèphe is the 2020 Château Capbern, which comes from the same team as Calon Ségur. (Current director Vincent Millet was brought on board in 2021.) Coming from 33 hectares of vines on sandy, gravelly, clay soils, the final blend is 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The élevage spanned 18 months in 60% new French oak, and this beauty hit just 12.8% natural alcohol. Gorgeous cassis, violets, damp earth, iron, and classy oak all emerge on the nose, and it's full-bodied on the palate, with beautiful tannins, a layered, seamless mouthfeel, and the vintage's pure, focused, age-worthy style front and center. Give bottles just 4-6 years and enjoy over the following two decades.

er lobt die Tiefe des Weins und den reichen Character.
