The 2016 Siran has a deep garnet-purple color and nose of cassis and chocolate-covered cherries with wafts of black soil, licorice and violets. The medium-bodied palate is lively with grainy tannins and a good fruit core.

The frame of sandalwood dust and singed cedar gives this a slightly restrained feel for now, though the core of bitter plum, black cherry and lilac notes is solidly built. The sandalwood edge holds sway on the finish, keeping this slightly austere for now. Cellaring should let this wine's charms emerge fully. Best from 2022 through 2032. 7,500 cases made. — JM

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.
