From an estate in the southern part of Margaux, this wine has just the right mix of rich tannins and taut black-currant flavors to give upfront freshness and potential for further aging. Structured and fruity, it should be drunk from 2027. *#1 Enthusiast 100 2021, Editors’ Choice* (RV)

Blackberries, mushrooms and flowers on the nose. Full-bodied with a very compact palate that shows creamy and refined tannins that are strong and driven. Some tar and wet earth at the end. Needs three or four years to come together.

Youthful, plush and opulent, boasting concentrated aromas of ripe black berry fruit, violet lift and fresh cedar oak spice. The well-structured palate supports fleshy black and red currant fruit enlivened by vibrant acidity, peppery spice and inky, grippy tannins. A very approachable, tasty, harmonious claret for mid-term enjoyment. (TG)

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 Verdot is put to good use in terms of giving lift, spice, focus, depth, and good balance to the exuberance of the year. Appealing expansion through the mid palate, this is a great wine to look out for drinking over the next 10 to 15 years. Marjolaine Defrance cellar master, Hubet de Boüard consultant. 35% new oak.

Notes

92 points Neal Martin in Vinous: "The 2018 Siran, picked from September 20 until October 18, is raised in around 33% new oak (as usual). It has an intense, focused nose of vibrant black fruit, more floral than its peers, with violet and incense aromas. The palate is framed by pliant tannins and crisp acidity, and delivers gentle grip and signs of graphite toward the finish. An accomplished Siran that is going to give 20-plus years of drinking pleasure." (03/2021) Located in Labarde at the southern end of Margaux, Château Siran has been owned by the Miailhe family since 1859. Though outside the 1855 classification, it has long been one of the appellation's best-known independent estates, with a history and following distinct from the classified-growth hierarchy.
