A warm vintage during harvest, and this is showing a rich plum colour, with a satin texture that speaks to alcohols that are higher than usual in this part of the Médoc peninsula. Great quality though, and the Petit...

The 2018 Siran is an exceptional Bordeaux Blend hailing from the prestigious Margaux region in France. With its deep garnet-purple color, this wine is visually striking and immediately captures attention. The nose is a symphony of aromas, featuring notes of blackberries, mushrooms, and flowers. It is a captivating blend of earthiness and fruitiness that entices the senses.

On the palate, the 2018 Siran reveals its true character. It is full-bodied and boasts a remarkably compact structure. The tannins are creamy and refined, yet strong and driven, providing a beautiful balance to the wine. As the wine unfolds, hints of tar and wet earth emerge, adding depth and complexity to the overall profile. This wine is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the winemakers at Siran.

Notably, this wine has received high praise from renowned wine critics. James Suckling awarded it a score of 94 points, describing its potential for aging and recommending it be enjoyed after 2025. Wine Enthusiast followed suit, giving it an impressive score of 95 points and naming it the #1 Enthusiast 100 wine for 2021. According to Roger Voss, the wine strikes the perfect balance between rich tannins and taut black-currant flavors, making it both structured and fruity.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded the 2018 Siran a score of 93 points, noting its medium to deep garnet-purple color and its intoxicating aromas of red roses, cinnamon stick, and chocolate-covered cherries. Lisa Perrotti-Brown describes the palate as absolutely laden with rich, juicy black fruits, supported by velvety tannins and plenty of freshness. This Margaux is classy and delicious, and it will continue to evolve and improve with cellaring.

With its depth, length, and energy, this wine has the potential to age gracefully for at least 20 years or more, as suggested by Jeff Leve. The blend of 45% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc contributes to the wine's complexity and structure. It is a wine that showcases the best of what Margaux has to offer.

In conclusion, the 2018 Siran is an outstanding wine that exemplifies the excellence of Bordeaux. It is a wine that demands attention and rewards patience. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for future enjoyment, this wine is sure to impress even the most discerning wine connoisseurs.
