Château Siran

Red wine | Margaux AC

A stature that needs no classification
Delicately scented, both powerful and subtle, it offers a complex nose, with notes of blackberry, flowers and spices. Very tasty and juicy on the palate, this red wine is enhanced by silky tannins and a long finish. Confident of its qualities, Château Siran quietly follows its own path. After declining the invitation to be part of the first classification of Bordeaux wines in 1855, he withdrew from the hassles linked to the Crus Bourgeois a century and a half later!

James Suckling A tight, linear 2017 with compact fruit and seamless tannins that show length and beauty. Medium to full body. Lovely finish. Drinkable now, but better in 2021 and onwards.

Decanter This is rather lovely, with excellent aromatics and fine tannins with a feeling of flex and precision. There is no question that the fruit has form and density, with concentrated blackcurrant and tobacco notes and some slate. This also lasts well on the palate. The fruit is at the fresher end of the scale, as is true across most wines in 2017, but it's clearly successful. Hubert de Boüard is consultant at this estate, owned by Edouard Miailhe with winemaker Marjolaine DeFrance. There was no frost here, and the season was two weeks ahead of normal. Harvested September 19 to October 5. Drinking Window 2024 - 2038

Yves Beck Garnet red with purple reflections. Complex bouquet, of good intensity, revealing aromas of blackberries and blueberries. On the palate the wine is balanced, delicious and fruity. It is perfectly supported by its tannins which are dense and which give fullness to the entire palate. A Siran in great shape that will be difficult to resist... and yet it has potential to spend time in the cellar, too! 2022-2034.
