Chateau Capbern 2018 Saint Estephe

James Suckling über den Chateau Le Boscq 2019 Saint Estephe:

8 Nov, 2021 – Intense and focused with cigar tobacco, cedar, spice and berry. Currant too. Medium- to full-bodied. The fruit is there at the beginning and then it takes off at the finish. Give this two or three years to soften and come together. Complex and long. Drink after 2024.

 

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Le Boscq 2019 Saint Estephe:

The 2019 Le Boscq is fabulous. A rush of wild cherry, smoke, licorice, tobacco, incense and scorched earth races across the palate. This deep, flavorful Saint-Estèphe is wonderfully expressive today. I would give the tannins a few years to soften. Le Boscq is a great choice for readers who want to explore the appellation without splurging on some of the bigger names.

 

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Le Boscq 2019 Saint Estephe:

The 2019 Le Boscq has an intense bouquet of dark berry fruit, meat juice, wild mint and juniper berries. The palate is medium-bodied, fleshy and ripe, with supple tannins, fine structure and a fresh, nicely proportioned finish that demonstrates some well-integrated oak. Very fine.

 

Für den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth denChateau Le Boscq 2019 Saint Estephe:

Ripe and juicy, boasting both burly and sleek aspects, with black currant and blackberry fruit that pumps through and hints of licorice root, tobacco and warm earth. Shows lovely persistence through the finish, as the fruit and earth notes meld. Features a touch of old school, too. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2035. 7,833 cases made, 125 cases imported.

James Suckling über den Le Marquis de Calon Segur 2019 Saint Estephe:

17 Jan, 2022 – A chewy, structured red with blackberry, chocolate and some walnut and bark. It’s full-bodied and solid with lots of fruit and tannins. Second wine of Calon Segur. Needs five or six years to soften. Try after 2026.

 

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Le Marquis de Calon Segur 2019 Saint Estephe:

The 2019 Le Marquis de Calon Ségur is a terrific second wine. Ample, bold and dramatic, the 2019 packs a huge punch. Black cherry, plum, new leather, graphite and incense build as this flamboyant, opulent Saint-Estèphe shows off its considerable allure. The 2019 is a big wine, but the 15.1% alcohol is not especially evident.

 

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Le Marquis de Calon Segur 2019 Saint Estephe:

The 2019 Le Marquis de Calon, matured in 25% new oak, sports an almost identical bouquet to the one I found out of barrel, featuring intense blackberry, iodine and pressed iris petals, albeit with more composure. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth, slightly lactic entry and fine acidity, maybe not quite as "crunchy" as I recall, yet still satisfyingly persistent.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Capbern 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:

A fresh and firm Capbern with lots of dark berries, chocolate and hints of hazelnuts. Medium to full body and dense. lightly chewy tannins. Mineral undertone.


James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Capbern 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:

Delicious cassis, plum and blackberry fruit forms the core, showing lovely purity and definition. Light tobacco, floral and mineral shadings emerge through the finish.

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Capbern 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:

The 2018 Capbern is composed of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon. 37% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot and comes in at 14.6% alcohol. It's anticipated to age for 16 months in barriques. 60% new. Deep purple-black in color, it leaps from the glass with vibrant scents of black raspberries, kirsch and fresh blackcurrants with nuances of cedar chest, pencil lead and forest floor plus a waft of lavender. Full-bodied, rich and packed with juicy fruit, it has a firm line of grainy tannins and loads of freshness, finishing with an herbal lift.

 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Capbern 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:

The 2018 Capbern is expressive, nuanced and inviting, with lovely upfront fruit. In 2018. Capbern is a bit compact and tightly wound, but it also has a good deal of persistence. The Cabernet is quite marked in the 2018, which is not a bad thing, it just means the wine is going to need time to be at its best. What really stands out, though, is the push and pull between the bright aromatics that this cool, clay-rich soil helped give in 2018, and the ripe, radiant fruit of the warm summer. That interplay makes for an absolutely compelling wine. Red cherry fruit, mint, dried flowers, cedar and tobacco add aromatic nuance to this highly expressive, vibrant Saint-Estèphe. The blend is 62% Cabernet Sauvignon. 37% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. Tasted two times.

William Kelley im April 2022:

The 2019 du Tertre opens in the glass with aromas of sweet cassis and plums mingled with undergrowth, cedarwood, violets and subtle hints of cigar wrapper. Medium-bodied, bright and integrated, with a nicely concentrated core of fruit, lively acids and fine, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish, it delivers a certain generosity of fruit in a fine-boned package. Even if this numbers among the more powerful du Tertre vintages of recent years, it remains a wine defined by elegance more than impact.

 

James Suckling über den Chateau du Tertre 2019 Margaux:

Beautiful purity of fruit here with currant and berry aromas, as well as fresh roses and other flowers. Citrus peel as well. Full-bodied with creamy and lightly velvety tannins that are long and beautiful. Hints of citrus to the lovely fruit. Textured and polished. A blend of 54% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot, 13% cabernet franc and 6% petit verdot. Try after 2024.

 

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau du Tertre 2019 Margaux:

The 2019 du Tertre is powerful and virile, just as it was en primeur. Black cherry, graphite, smoke, tobacco, licorice, incense and crushed rocks lend notable complexity to this decidedly brooding, potent Margaux. I have always wondered if du Tertre, which is always a bit monolithic, can be more. The château is under new ownership, so perhaps we will find out.

 

Der Chateau du Tertre 2019 Margaux am Gaumen der Falstaff-Verköstiger:

Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Etwas Nougat, reife dunkle Waldbeeren und schwarze Kirschen, ein Hauch von Edelholz. Saftig, komplex, feine Süße in der Textur, reife, ausgewogene Tannine, ein Hauch von Kirschen und Schokolade im Abgang, wirkt kraftvoll und anhaftend, zeigt Länge, bereits gut entwickelt, wird relativ früh zugänglich sein, ein vielseitiger Speisenbegleiter.
 

James Suckling über den Chateau Capbern 2019 Saint Estephe:

14 Jan, 2022 – A perfumed nose of mulberries, dark cherries, earth, black tea, cloves and cedar. Full-bodied with tight, sinewy tannins. Well structured and balanced with a fleshy texture and a flavorful, long finish. Big wine. Drink from 2025.

 

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Capbern 2019 Saint Estephe:

The 2019 Capbern is ripe and flamboyant, with soft edges and superb balance. It's a big wine, there is no doubt about that, and yet it also boasts terrific harmony. Dark fruit, new leather, licorice and chocolate build as the 2019 gains intensity through the mid-palate and into the finish. The 15.1% alcohol is not terribly evident.

 

Für den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth denChateau Capbern 2019 Saint Estephe:

Alluring, with range and character, showing black tea, sweet bay leaf, violet, black currant preserve and singed alder hints. This is carried by a substantial but fine-grained structure, ending with a late sanguine hint. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2032.

 

Jeb Dunnuck im April 2022:

I love the nose on the 2019 Château Capbern, a medium to full-bodied, spicy, rich, tobacco and cedar pencil-filled beauty with ripe yet building tannins, a great mix of richness and freshness, and a blockbuster of a finish. It's incredibly impressive, and while it offers pleasure even today, it deserves 5-6 years of bottle age, and I can't imagine it not evolving for two decades.

Plenty of blackcurrant and blackberry aromas with hints of black truffle and mushroom. It’s medium-bodied with an attractive core of cool fruit and a flavorful finish. Wet-earth undertone. Second wine of Calon Segur. Drink after 2025.

 

Jeb Dunnuck bewertet den Le Marquis de Calon Segur 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:

The second wine from Calon Ségur, the 2018 Le Marquis De Calon Segur shows the ripe, sexy side to the vintage and has terrific blackcurrant and red plum-like fruits as well as lots of tobacco and cedary spice aromas and flavors. Close to an even split of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this full-bodied, gorgeously texture, balanced Saint-Estate should be snatched up by readers. It's in the running for the top second wine of the vintage!

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Le Marquis de Calon Segur 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:

The 2018 Le Marquis de Calon-Ségur is a blend of 53% Merlot and 47% Cabernet Sauvignon (14.9% alcohol). It is anticipated to age for 17 months in barriques. 30% new. Deep purple-black in color. it gives up opulent scents of Indian spices. menthol and plum preserves with a core of crème de cassis. baked cherries and raspberry pie plus a hint of sandalwood. Big. rich. full-bodied and voluptuously fruited in the mouth. it has bags of black fruit preserves and exotic spices with a firm. plush frame. finishing long with a minty lift. Definitely one for the hedonists! und vergibt ihm 92-94 Punkte.

“2018 was complicated to vinify because of the potentially high alcohols.” Laurent Dufau. Managing Director of Calon-Ségur and Capbern informed me. “Also. you had to be very gentle with extraction. You had to be soft. so as not to extract too much. The alcohol percentage of the Merlot was concerning—some came in at 16% potential alcohol! And the Cabernet Franc this year was amazing on this terroir.” Merlot was picked from September 19 to 25. The Cabernets came in September 26 to October 5. Petit Verdot came in on October 8th. Yields were pretty good here on average in 2018: 41 hectoliters per hectare. This year marks the final stages/completion of years of vineyard restructuring. new aging cellars and a gravity-fed vat room at Château Calon-Ségur. Most notably. they have been increasing vine density and slowly working on bringing more Cabernet Sauvignon rather than Merlot on line. as was the blend traditionally. No doubt about it. quality at Calon-Ségur has been on an upward trajectory in recent years!
 

James Suckling über den Chateau Malescot Saint Exupery 2019 Margaux:

16 Jan, 2022 – Sweet currant and berry aromas with hints of blackcurrants, black cherries and flowers. It’s full-bodied and layered with beautifully polished tannins that last for minutes. Tight and very focused. This needs at least six or seven years to open. Try after 2027.

 

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Malescot Saint Exupery 2019 Margaux:

The 2019 Malescot St. Exupéry is quite possibly the most elegant wine I have tasted here. Plush and radiant, the 2019 possesses notable depth with plenty of supporting structure beneath surprisingly tamed tannins. Gravel, dark red cherry/plum, spice, leather and dried flowers build over time. The 2019 is a magical wine endowed with tremendous character. Don't miss it.

 

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Malescot Saint Exupery 2019 Margaux:

The 2019 Malescot Saint Exupéry has a well-defined bouquet, although it does not quite possess the intensity that it showed from barrel. Touches of licorice and allspice gently unfold with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, and lightly spiced with white pepper and clove toward the detailed, persistent finish. This is a serious Margaux that deserves time in bottle.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Puygueraud 2018 Cotes de Bordeaux wie folgt:

A beautiful Puygueraud with blackberries. black olives and hints of salt. Medium to full body and firm tannins at the end. Shows tension and beauty.

 

James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Puygueraud 2018 Cotes de Bordeaux wie folgt:

Dark plum and boysenberry fruit flavors are inlaid liberally with a smoky tobacco leaf note in this red. A tug of dark earth at the end gives this a little gutsy feel too.

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Puygueraud 2018 Cotes de Bordeaux wie folgt:

Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2018 Puygueraud features scents of warm blueberries. plum preserves and kirsch with touches of chocolate box and yeast extract. Full-bodied with a firm frame of ripe. grainy tannins. it has loads of freshness lifting the densely packed layers of black fruit and finishes with great length.

 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Puygueraud 2018 Cotes de Bordeaux wie folgt:

The 2018 Puygueraud packs a serious punch. Bold. super-ripe and explosive. the 2018 possesses striking depth at this level. Blackberry jam. chocolate. grilled herbs and spice are all generous in this rich Côtes de Francs. It will be interesting to see how the 2018 develops during elevage. Today. it is quite promising and complex. especially within its peer group. Even with gentler hand in vinification. the 2018 is a powerful wine that very much shows the richness of the year. The blend is 85% Merlot. 12% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec. Tasted three times.
 

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Alcee 2019 Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux im Februar 2022:

Jeb Dunnuck im April 2022:

Black cherries, red plums, tobacco, and chalky minerality all emerge from the 2019 Château Alcée, a juicy, medium-bodied, round, incredibly satisfying Castillon with ripe tannins and rock-solid overall balance. It's beautiful today, yet I see no reason it shouldn't evolve and drink well for a decade.  

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Alcee 2019 Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux im Juni 2020:

Composed of 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. the 2019 Alcee was harvested from the 27th of September to the 9th of October. Yields were 29 hectoliters per hectare this year. Deep garnet-purple in color. it needs a little coaxing to reveal the beautiful raspberry pie. kirsch and Black Forest cake scents. followed by notions of violets. fallen leaves and star anise. Medium to full-bodied. the palate is solidly constructed with firm. ripe. grainy tannins and seamless freshness supporting the tightly knit red and black fruit flavors. finishing long and fragrant. About 1.650 cases are anticipated to be made.

Full-bodied. rich and opulent. it completely fills the palate with hedonic black fruit preserves and spices. framed by firm. velvety tannins and finishing with fantastic length.

 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Marquis d Alesme 2018 Margaux wie folgt:

The 2018 Marquis d'Alesme is gorgeous. In 2018 Marquis d'Alesme is far more aromatically complex and more nuanced than it has been in the recent past. Sweet floral. savory and spice add striking layers of dimension. The fruit is especially vibrant. with none of the overextracted notes or heaviness that plagued some recent vintages. The 2018 is really impressive. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon. 35% Merlot. 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. I can't wait to taste it from bottle.
 

Antonio Galloni beschreibt den Chateau Laroque 2018 im März 2021 wie folgt:

The 2018 Laroque is every bit as impressive as it was from barrel. Silky, polished and refined, the 2018 marks a major step forward for the château. Lavender, spice, blueberry, cedar and mint all grace a Saint-Émilion built more on finesse than power. The long, persistent finish, with its saline accents, adds to the wine's pedigree. The 2018 is beautifully done. The blend is 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Technical Director David Suire gave the 2018 lots 26-29 days on the skins fermented in cement, with manual pump-overs and punch-downs. New oak is 55%

 

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Laroque 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Aromas of ripe blackcurrants, spiced cherries, cloves, praline, tea leaves and crushed gravel. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, tightly knit tannins and fresh acidity. Fleshy, chewy layers lead to a long, mineral finish. Late bottling helped here. Try from 2023.

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Laroque 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Laroque is composed of 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, aged in 50% new barriques. The alcohol is 14.5% and the pH is 3.48. Deep garnet-purple colored, it bursts from the glass with flamboyant notes of stewed black plums, Black Forest cake and boysenberries, plus hints of candied violets, star anise and unsmoked cigars with a playful waft of sassafras. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with juicy black fruits, supported by plush tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long and fragrant.

 

Jeb Dunnuck beschreibt den Chateau Laroque 2018 Saint Emilion Grand Cru im April 2019 wie folgt:

This estate is in a cool, limestone terroir on the eastern side of Saint- Emilion, and it's been firing on all cylinders over the past decade, in no small part due to the talented director, David Suire. The 2018 Château Laroque checks in as almost all Merlot (there is 3% Cabernet Franc) that comes from an incredibly strict selection of just 41% of the total production. Brought up in a mix of new and used barrels, it's more about finesse than power, offering a gorgeous perfume of ripe black cherries, mulberries, cassis, violets, spring flowers, and chalky minerality. Medium to full-bodied, pure, and incredibly elegant on the palate, it builds nicely with time in the glass, has ultra-fine tannins, flawlessly integrated tannins, acidity and fruit, and a great finish. It's as classy as they come. Approachable today with a decant, it will drink nicely for 20 years or more. Readers looking for an impeccably made, classic, high-quality Saint-Emilion that doesn't break the bank should back up the truck for this beauty.

The currant and light vanilla come through on the nose with some flowers, too. It’s full-bodied with lots of rich fruit and chewy tannins that need to soften. Powerful and intense. Try after 2024.

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Fonplegade 2018 Saint Emilion Grand Cru wie folgt:

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Fonplegade needs no convincing, charging out of the gate with bold notions of black cherry preserves, mulberries and ripe, juicy black plums, leading to suggestions of Indian spices, dried roses and smoked meats plus a touch of tar. The medium to full-bodied palate is beautifully crafted, dripping with poise and sophistication, draped in plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing on a lingering black cherry note. A very polished showing!

 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Fonplegade 2018 Saint Emilion Grand Cru wie folgt:

The 2018 Fonplégade is super-elegant and refined. Some of the youthful exuberance the 2018 showed from barrel has naturally subsided, revealing a Saint-Émilion of real finesse and nuance. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, spice, blood orange and cinnamon are all beautifully layered. Even so, the 2018 was a bit more impressive en primeur. Hopefully, it is just closed post-bottling. We will see.

Dahinter steckt das Winzergenie Michel Coudroy. der auch für die unfassbaren Qualitäten von Haut-Tropchaud verantwortlich ist. Wie auch bei diesem Projekt gilt hier: ein höchstmaß an Qualität zum erstaunlich fairen Preis. Wie das kommt? Nun ja. da Sie vermutlich noch nie von l'Art de Maison Neuve 2018 Montagne Saint-Emilion gehört haben. erscheint es nur logisch. dass man auf Marketing.
