This classic St Estephe is drinking nicely now although it improved during a couple of hours in the decanter. Probably will remain at this level for a few more years so no rush on this one. But if you do open it now you won’t regret it.

The nose was burley, muscular, primary, smells like young wine. The palate is much lighter and lifted than expected, allowing me to think this just needs some more time. I’ll hold off for another few years on the remaining.

Pretty similar to Nov 2022 although it came across maybe just a bit more astringent and tightly wound this time. It’s a heavy and muscular style of Bordeaux. Should still have several good years.

Seit meiner ersten Verkostungsnotiz sind fast 4 Jahre vergangen. Es ist immer spannend zu sehen, wie ein Wein sich entwickelt hat. Der 2016er Capbern ist spürbar entwickelt, was sich vor allem in seinem milden Geschmack bemerkbar macht. Sein intensiver Duft von reifen roten und schwarzen Beeren wird von würzigen und feinen ätherischen Aromen flankiert, viel süßes Lakritz, ab und an taucht noch etwas Vanille auf. Dieser würzige Fruchtmix wiederholt sich am Gaumen, auch hier wieder viel Lakritz, die Tannine sind noch präsent, dabei schon merklich angeschliffen. Süßer Extrakt. Etwas Alkoholwärme. Angenehme frische Säureader. Sehr schöne Länge. Ein moderner St. Estephe mit Klasse. jetzt und weitere 10 Jahre.
