Château Siran 2015

over 2015:

Decanter 93/100: An assertive style for Margaux; the forthright nose has black-cherry aromas. The attack is tannic and punchy, with plenty of energy. Black fruits dominate the palate, which is powerful and taut, with a long finish. Not the most elegant style, but impressive and complex.

Over 2016:

"The 2016 Siran has a deep garnet-purple color and nose of cassis and chocolate-covered cherries with wafts of black soil, licorice and violets. The medium-bodied palate is lively with grainy tannins and a good fruit core." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Very attractive, plush and rich red and dark-fruit aromas with beautifully integrated oak and youthful, spicy complexity. The palate has lush, seamless and velvety tannins that are elegant yet powerful and deliver a silky build of ripe dark-berry flavors into a long, seamless finish. Greatest Siran ever! Try from 2023." - James Suckling

"Tasted blind. Thick and dense and very drying on the end. Minerally. Could well come right eventually." - Jancis Robinson

"The 2016 Siran has a backward bouquet, quite delineated and broody at first, then opening gradually to reveal blackberry, cedar and graphite scents - almost Pauillac-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, very good concentration and purity, and fresh, brine-tinged black fruit toward the sensual finish. Bon vin." - Vinous

"Now with more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend than in the past, this wine has elegant black-currant fruits and tannins allied to a lift of acidity. Showing the continued improvements at this southern Margaux estate, the wine is joyful and ripe. Drink from 2025." - Wine Enthusiast
