critic reviews
Deep garnet-purple colored. A light waft of reduction to start with tar and rubber notes opening out to a core of red and black currants and red roses, plus a touch of sautéed herbs. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers a good intensity of savory flavors with a lightly chewy texture and seamless freshness, finishing earthy.
The 2024 Siran was picked between September 19 and October 3 at 45.5 hl/ha. There is no second label this year. It has a light and straightforward bouquet, mainly black fruit with touches of blue, though there is clearly less concentration than in previous years. The palate is medium-bodied with a graphite-tinged entry, slightly dry tannins and modest length, with a liberal sprinkling of black pepper on the finish. Edouard Miailhe has done a brilliant job rejuvenating this underrated estate in recent years. This vintage is limited by the growing season, but it will drink nicely over the next decade.
Bright plum and red cherry, pleasurably sappy structure to the tannins, this is full of joy and gives a Margaux lift without having to wait too long. 30% new oak for ageing, 45hl/h yield, impressive quality and a success in the vintage.
Aromas of earthy cassis and toasty oak preface the 2024 Siran, a medium-bodied, firm and angular young wine built around austere tannins that will require patience.
