Tasting notes
The 2013 Capbern Gasqueton has a light, savory bouquet with touches of graphite coming through with aeration, though it remains a bit pinched and mean. The palate is medium-bodied with light, rather "stiff" tannin at the moment, moderate depth, a little surly and missing some flesh towards the tapered, dry and earthy finish. Drink this over the next 5 years.

91% Cabernets, 6% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot. Lovely medicinal character, classic blackcurrant fruit, dry but not at all astringent. The tannins are grippy but welcoming. This suits its medium body – seems to be very restrained and traditional. Lovely! (RH)
The 2013 Capbern Gasqueton shows lovely immediacy. A rich tapestry of dark red and blue fruits, violets, menthol and spices flow across the palate in a pretty, fruit-driven wine with plenty of near-term appeal. The 2013 Capbern Gasqueton possesses lovely density for the year and terrific overall balance. Best of all, it should be a solid value as well.
