2022 Capbern

Note di degustazione
The limestone-dominant soils of Ch. Capbern worked in the estate’s favour in the hot, dry 2022 growing season. The tannins are fully resolved and beautifully integrated for a Saint-Estèphe property, particularly in 2022, with the wine showing beautiful balance. It is full of plush, opulent, rich blackberry and plum fruit, yet finishes with mouth-watering, mineral freshness. Long, precise and impressive. Aged in 60% new oak. Blend: 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc

The 2022 Capbern has vibrant red berry fruit intermixed with sage and cedar scents, nicely defined and more open-knit than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with a pastille-like entry, seemingly quite Merlot-driven, fleshy with a composed, quite tensile finish that fans out with confidence. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.
From the team at Calon-Ségur and deep ruby/plum-hued, the 2022 Château Capbern has a youthful, unevolved profile in its black and blue fruits as well as crushed stone, graphite, and violet-like perfume. This carries to a rich, medium to full-bodied, concentrated Capbern that has solid depth of fruit, juicy acidity, and ripe tannins. It has all the right components, but it's going to need some time to come together.
The 2022 Capbern takes a few minutes to really coalesce on the nose. It has more red fruit than I recall compared to en primeur , with raspberry and wild strawberry scents, touches of wilted rose petal and a hint of dried blood in the background. This opens nicely with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a rounded, very harmonious opening, well-judged acidity and a judicious dab of spice toward the finish. This finishes with style, perhaps better than the aromatics at the moment. It is promising.
