Note di degustazione
Tasted blind. Relatively pale – diffuse colour. Round and fresh. Dried-fruit compote. An early-maturer but not offensive, so long as you can tolerate the usual marked acidity in a 2021. (JR)

The 2021 Château Siran shows the challenges of the vintage, and is lean, firm, and relatively uninspiring. Light red fruits, a touch of cedar, medium to light body, and a clean finish all make for a competent, enjoyable wine to drink over the coming 7-8 years. The blend is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 11% Petit Verdot, and the rest Cabernet Franc.
The 2021 Siran has an open bouquet with raspberry and blackberry fruit, iodine and light iris flower scents, not the most complex in Margaux but the oak is nicely integrated. It opens nicely with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, more black fruit here originating from the 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, touches of graphite and cedar emerging toward the finish. It will drink sooner than other vintages, but is still worth seeking out given prices.
The 2021 Siran is a pretty, nuanced Margaux. Floral and citrus-driven aromatics are quite attractive, but I find the 2021 a bit lacking in the mid-palate.
Informazioni sul produttore
In the south of Margaux, this property has 36 hectares of vines. There’s an unusually large proportion of Petit Verdot (13%) in the vineyard, something which the team feels adds finesse, concentration and a spicy finish to the wine.
