Awards | "This is pretty and aromatic with ripe black cherries and blackberries as well as hints of chocolate, sweet spices and nut shell. Full-bodied with a deep character of mellow black fruit. Firm and structured with ripe, fine-grained tannins and a velvety finish. Try after 2025." - James Suckling "69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot. Cask sample. Dense but vibrant and aromatic. Plenty of crunchy fruit and freshness. Bigger structure than 2019, closer to 2018, the tannins firm and textured. Dry, persistent finish. One for the cellar. Should be GV. (JL)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2020 Capbern remains quite the powerhouse, but it has come together well. Punchy red berry fruit, kirsch, gravel and white pepper all meld together in a Saint-Estèphe of class and personality. There's real depth and plenty of character. This is very nicely done. Tasted two times." - Vinous "Shows a darker profile than most of its AOC brethren, with dark plum and black cherry fruit forming the core, while hints of singed bay leaf, warm earth and dark tobacco peek through. Reveals an earthy tug through the finish, too. Approachable now but no rush. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2034." - Wine Spectator "Deep and dark purple fruits on the nose, some perfumed touches, really richly scented. Succulent and juicy, high acidity makes its mark straight away and then settles to a chalky, almost creamy texture. Crushed stones, a saltiness and liquorice flavour along with texture coming through. This has a leanness, it's quite straight and focused with integrated tannins. Long, menthol-tinged ending. Nicely approachable while still being detailed. Not too intense, but it is serious nonetheless. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend." - Decanter |
