Chateau Capbern Saint Estephe 2015by odedi1 2 Comments odedi1 3 weeks ago 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. GrilledCheeseTn 3 weeks ago I have not had this one in quite some time.
