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
Producer
Château Siran
Found in the southernmost commune of Margaux, the historical Château Siran sits in Labarde. Owned by the same family for over 150 years, Siran has been the Miailhe family’s pride and joy since 1848. Today, fifth generation, Édouard Miailhe manages the estate. The 88-hectare property has 36 hectares of vines, 25 of which are in the Margaux appellation. The remarkable terroir consists of a plateau with siliceous gravel soil. Planted essentially with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this vineyard nevertheless has an unusually large percentage of Petit Verdot (11 %) – variety that contributes finesse, concentration and, above all, a spicy aftertaste typical of Château Siran. The estate produces from 130 to 150,000 bottles of their Grand Vin and second wine, S de Siran, every year.
