2019 vintage. An estate owned by the Cazes family (Lynch Bages, Haut Batailley). A blend of Merlot (50%), Cabernet Sauvignon (40%), Cabernet Franc (7%) and Petit Verdot (3%). Less flashy compared to the Capbern 2019 tasted yesterday, give it some time to open up. Even with the high Merlot percentage, it has more of a dark Cabernet Sauvignon personality with black fruit and a serious, slightly severe tannic backbone. Abv. 14,5 %. — 3 years ago
Rich and smooth. Bought at Mitsukoshi for ¥3,300. — 8 years ago

Vintage 2018 | I think I am becoming a fan of Capbern. This 2018 is deep purple dark, has a glorious smell with cassis and stewed red fruit, leather, spices, hint of chocolate. Sumptuous taste. Lovely. Paired with tenderloin paksoi Asian style. — a month ago
