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...

A structured vintage where the amount of Cabernet Sauvignon rises back up after 2015. Dark plum in colour, full of depth with the kick of eucalyptus mint freshness on the finish that gives a cushion of acidity and air...

Wine Enthusiast, May 2019

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...

Decanter, April 2017

A highly attractive vintage for Siran, with a darkly spiced frame coming from a high 9% of Petit Verdot (a grape that did particularly well in 2016), blended with 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc...

The 2016 Siran Bordeaux Blend is a remarkable red wine from the Margaux sub-region of Bordeaux, France. With a distinctive blend of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, this wine has garnered attention for both its composition and its quality.

James Suckling awarded it a high score of 96, describing it as "the greatest Siran ever," praising its "very attractive, plush and rich red and dark-fruit aromas" and "seamless and velvety tannins" leading to a "long, seamless finish." He suggests that this wine will be best enjoyed starting in 2023.

Wine Enthusiast also provided an excellent review with a score of 94, noting its elegant black-currant fruits and a hint of acidity, a testament to the increased presence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. The review highlights the wine's "joyful and ripe" nature and recommends it be consumed from 2025.

Decanter awarded the wine a score of 93 and highlighted the new winemaker, Marjolaine DeFrance, who has contributed to the estate's continued improvement. The review notes the wine's "darkly spiced frame" and "beautifully poised fruit," though it's considered less succulent than the 2015 vintage.

Jeff Leve gave it a score of 92, remarking on its "medium-bodied, round and open" profile with flavors of tobacco, licorice, and dark red pit fruit, culminating in an "elegant finish."

Jane Anson rated it 95, appreciating the structured nature of the vintage and the "dark plum in color" wine with "eucalyptus mint freshness" on the finish. She notes its readiness for drinking despite its youth.

Overall, the 2016 Siran is a well-regarded wine with a rich flavor profile and a promising future for aging.
