Wet earth, berry and currant character follow through to a medium body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Needs time to soften but pretty already. Better in 2017.

This 2012 Siran Bordeaux Blend from the prestigious Margaux region of France is a true gem that embodies the essence of a classic red wine. With its elegant and refined character, it is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the renowned producer, Siran.

In the glass, the wine displays a deep and alluring red color that immediately catches the eye. The aromas that waft from the glass are simply captivating, revealing a symphony of red plum, raspberry, and mineral notes that are complemented by subtle hints of cedar and graphite. These complex aromatics create a sense of depth and intrigue, drawing you in for a closer exploration.

On the palate, this wine truly shines. It is medium-bodied, with fine and gently grippy tannins that provide a smooth and velvety texture. The black fruit flavors are tinged with a touch of graphite, adding a layer of complexity and sophistication. As the wine lingers on the palate, it reveals its commendable substance and persistence, leaving a lasting impression.

The 2012 Siran is a wine with ambitions, surpassing the quality of many of its predecessors from the 1990s. It has received high praise from esteemed wine critics, with Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarding it a score of 90 and James Suckling giving it a score of 91. Both reviewers highlight the wine's potential for further development, suggesting that it will soften and become even more beautiful with additional aging.

Decanter also joins in the chorus of acclaim, noting the wine's lovely welcoming fruits and gently exotic spices. They commend its well-balanced nature, with oak in evidence but perfectly harmonized with raspberry and black cherry notes. The juicy finish leaves a lasting impression, making this wine a delightful companion for any occasion.

With an alcohol percentage of 12.5%, this Bordeaux Blend is an excellent choice for those who appreciate finesse and elegance in their wines. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for a few more years, the 2012 Siran is a wine that will continue to captivate and enchant.
