With fine, dusty tannins, this rich and juicy wine wears its fruit on its sleeve, all black plums and blackberry flavors. The acidity of the year is almost sweet with the fresh ripeness of the fruit. It is developing well, showing a medium-term future. Drink from 2018.

90pts James Suckling– 2012 vintage

FOR THE 2012 VINTAGE
Aromas of dark berries, currants and cloves follow through to a full body, chewy tannins and a spicy finish. Tight and structured. Needs time to soften and unravel in bottle.

90pts James Suckling– 2013 vintage

FOR THE 2013 VINTAGE
A tight and firm wine with a solid core of fruit with currant and cedar aromas and flavors. Medium body with firm tannins. Used to be Château Capbern-Gasqueton and not just Capbern. Almost all cabernet sauvignon. Drink or hold.
