2022, Château Siran, MARGAUX

Bordeaux Blend: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot.

The 2022 Siran is a real success, bursting with aromas of sweet berries, cassis, licorice and pencil shavings, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy palate. This charming, succulent Margaux is sure to be one of the commune's better value propositions. 90-92 William Kelley, Wine Advocate.

Attractive berry fruit here with spices and orange peel undertones. Medium-to-full bodied, toned and steady with compact tannin structure. Deep. Long finish with stony minerality. Most structured yet fine Siran I have tasted for a long time. 95-96 James Suckling.

A brilliant quality Siran, full of depth and grip, slate-textured tannins to provide contrast to the ripe black fruits, and help draw out of the nuance in the rich flavours. Has juice and pleasure, and is an enjoyable and quietly confident wine in a year where excess was the easier route. Ageing in 35% new French oak barrels. One to look out for, from the Miaihle family. 94 Jane Anson, Decanter.
