92-93+ Punkte
Mittlere bis volle Dichte aufweisend. Die Nase hat reife Frucht zu bieten. saftige Kirsche. dunkle Beeren. zarte Würze. Im Mund sehr harmonisch mit reifen und polierten Tanninen. die Frucht ist super klar. das Finale sehr harmonisch und lang. Insgesamt ein sehr eleganter geschliffener Stil.
Den Chateau Capbern 2018 Saint Estephe beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
A juicy and savory red with currant, walnut, mushroom and cedar aromas that follow through to a medium body with firm tannins and a savory finish. Drink after 2023.
Den Chateau Capbern 2018 Saint Estephe beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
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.

Delicious cassis. plum and blackberry fruit forms the core. showing lovely purity and definition. Light tobacco. floral and mineral shadings emerge through the finish.
Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Capbern 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:
The 2018 Capbern is expressive. nuanced and inviting. with lovely upfront fruit. In 2018. Capbern is a bit compact and tightly wound. but it also has a good deal of persistence. The Cabernet is quite marked in the 2018. which is not a bad thing. it just means the wine is going to need time to be at its best. What really stands out. though. is the push and pull between the bright aromatics that this cool. clay-rich soil helped give in 2018. and the ripe. radiant fruit of the warm summer. That interplay makes for an absolutely compelling wine. Red cherry fruit. mint. dried flowers. cedar and tobacco add aromatic nuance to this highly expressive. vibrant Saint-Estèphe. The blend is 62% Cabernet Sauvignon. 37% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. Tasted two times.
