Siran - Margaux 2015 (750ml)
Wine Advocate: 92-94 Points
"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." -Neal Martin

"The wine shows the way this estate has developed. With fine acidity and generous although gentle tannins it has fine fruits and a ripe character. The aftertaste is shot through with acidity."
James Suckling: 94 Points
"Beautiful dark and bright fruits with blackberry blueberry and licorice aromas that follow through to a full body and round and lightly chewy tannins. Gorgeous texture. A long and flavorful finish. All here. Best ever. Drink in 2022."
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
"Plush with crushed cherry and plum fruit flavors carried by hints of violet chocolate and lavender. The long velvety finish features a gentle swath of roasted cedar. Best from 2020 through 2030."
Vinous: 88-91 Points
"The 2015 Siran is a dark burly Margaux. Still there is good depth and texture throughout. It will be interesting to see if some of the contours soften. Today the Siran is a bit rustic and rough around the edges. Dark cherry plum leather smoke and tobacco add complexity on the finish. Because of the high percentage of Merlot this is not a typical Margaux but it is very pretty just the same. Tasted two times."
