JEB DUNNUCK: "The 2021 Château Capbern is rock-solid, with wonderful cassis and an assortment of both red and blue fruits, supported by plenty of floral nuances. It's elegant and has considerable finesse, ripe tannins, and terrific purity. It shows the more charming, mid-weight style of the vintage, yet it's a solid wine that will deliver the goods."

WEINWISSER: "70 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 28 % Merlot, 2 % Petit Verdot, 12.8 Vol.-%, pH 3.75, 36 hl/ha. Zartes blaubeeriges Bouquet, heller Tabak und Holundergelee. Am mittleren Gaumen weiche Textur, körniges Extrakt, zeigt zarte Krallen, stützende Rasse und fein sandige Adstringenz. Im gebündelten Finale rotbeerige Konturen, Rosenholz und helles Graphit, aufgerundet."

DECANTER: "Gorgeous eucalyptus freshness on the nose alongside fragranced blackcurrant notes. high-toned fruit, nicely balanced between sour and sweet but with the edges and real definition that comes across as a touch austere partly also as the acidity is so high and to the fore. Lightly framed and juicy with great overall freshness and lift. It's also quite direct, there's no expansion at this point, just straight and taut but well defined and I love the gravel terroir coming through. 3.76pH."
