Post-dinner recollection: I really like this. Color and nose were more youthful than I expected. Ripe fruit and primary notes still presence, secondary notes developing. Soft texture. Tannins nicely resolved.

Jan 27th, 20252022 vintage. A blend of 53% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Petit Verdot. As Siran is consistently of Cru Classé quality, I've put the bar high, tasting it next to the 2022 La Lagune. While it doesn't have the depth and quality of tannins of the latter, Siran 2022 is an impressive effort, a classic Margaux in the same league as the magnificent 2019 Siran.

Nov 5th, 20241999 vintage. A blend of 54% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot. A surprisingly good wine in a difficult vintage. Dark red with a slightly orange rim, looking rather young for its age. Cassis, leather, and spices.Good concentration and complexity, with still a lot of dark fruit, unexpectedly smooth tannin, and very good length. Abv. 13%.

This wine represents! What a beautiful fruit forward red berry nose with brush, pine, and anise--red licorice. A bit hot, but all else melds beautifully into a perfect Margaux. I will rebuy this wine and redo the notes. Meanwhile, this is a winner!

Nov 25th, 20212015 vintage. Second vintage consulted by Hubert de Boüard. A blend of 55% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Petit Verdot. Textbook Margaux of Cru Classé quality. Refinement and depth with a serious soft tannic backbone and great length. Terrific value at 20 euros. Highly recommended.

Firm, unyielding, and closed, this will need another decade. After a few hours some currant fruit poked through, but at this point it’s mostly earth, iron/mineral, and herbal notes. Very classic/traditional, and will appeal to that set, but to me a high floor/low ceiling kind of wine.
