Château Siran 2019

La Revue du Vin de France

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

Intensely floral, with a strong note of violets, black cherry, espresso, cocoa and roses on the nose are what you initially notice. From there you move to the voluptuously textured palate with its layers of fresh, ripe, silky black fruit with a touch of spicy chocolate that hits all the right notes. They are doing everything right at Siran these days. This is a beauty from start to finish that for a wine of this quality, sells for a song. As an added bonus, the bottle features a special label design celebrating 160 years of family ownership. Drink from 2024-2047.

The nose is racy and offers minerality, fine intensity and a relatively powerful grain. There are notes of fresh/pulpy wild blackcurrant, crushed wild red berries and a hint of zan, combined with hints of fresh flowers, fresh pepper and a discreet touch of cola and spice. The palate is fruity, balanced and offers minerality, juiciness, gourmandise, a certain unctuousness, an acidic frame, suppleness and some airiness in the approach. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of creamy blackcurrant, crunchy wild raspberry combined with hints of pulpy red berries, racy minerality as well as fine hints of chocolate, fresh flowers and toastiness. There is a subtle, almost inky finish and a hint of good bitterness. The tannins are racy and well managed.
