Siran 2015 150cl

The 2015 Siran is a blend of 55% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Petit Verdot picked between 17 September to 12 October. It is raised in 25% new oak plus one-year barrels. It is a little richer and more opulent than its neighbor, the 2015 Dauzac, due to the higher proportion of Merlot. It veers to more red fruit here, wild strawberry and later cassis. The palate is smooth and sensual on the entry, very well defined with a keen thread of acidity. It grips the mouth, implying that there is more Cabernet than there actually is. I like the volume here, and unlike previous vintages that seemed to show some warmth on the finish, here the finish is much more linear and controlled, fanning out gracefully but with power emanating from that Merlot. This is likely to be proprietor Edouard Miailhe's best wine in recent years

Supple and lush, offering enticing black currant and plum purée notes carried by warm, caressing tannins, with a lingering backdrop of espresso and roasted cedar.—J.M.

Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Delikates Bouquet, in der blaubeerigen Süsse zeigen sich fein florale Noten. Im Gaumen mit mittlerem Druck, zeigt Charme und gehört zu den eleganteren Varianten. Nachdem die beiden Jahrgänge 2013 und 2014 bei diesem Weingut etwas enttäuschend waren, ist man wieder auf solidem Kurs. 17/20 2024 – 2039
