| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dit bevalt me meer nog dan du Tertre. Er is dit jaar onvoldoende Angludet. Maar er zijn geen excuses nodig om voor Siran te kiezen! Deze schitterende Margaux vertoont zowel een mentholé kantje als een warme toets. Het is één en al charme, soepele intensiteit en… grenzeloos drinkplezier. 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot 10% Petit Verdot en de rest Cabernet Franc. Elevage gedurende 12 maand op 35% nieuwe eik. 2018 Château Siran werd uitgeroepen tot wijn van het jaar 2021 in Wine Enthousiast. IN DE PERS 93 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (Maart 2021) The 2018 Siran is impressive, to say the least. Inky, dark and seductive, the 2018 is gorgeous right out of the bottle. Blue/purplish fruit, mocha, spice, chocolate and new French oak all race across the palate. The high percentage of Merlot is felt in the wine's juiciness and palate-weight, while a kick of brightness energizes the finish. In a word: terrific. Drink 2028-2043. 89-92 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (April 2019) The 2018 Siran offers an explosion of red cherry/plum fruit, wild flowers, mint and spice. There is a sense of exuberance and energy to the 2018 that is impossible to miss. The tannins are a bit strict today, but there is so much fruit I think all the 2018 needs is time. The blend is 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Tasted three times. 94-95 James Suckling – jamessuckling.com (April 2019) This is a solid Siran with blackberries and hints of hazelnuts and chocolate. Full body and chewy tannins that are soft and polished. Shows depth and density. 93 Jane Anson – decanter.com (April 2019) Another impressive Margaux in this vintage. It's a big wine with real structure and ageing ability, but it isn't too tight and is not too obviously pushing its agenda. This is a lovely Siran packed full of tannins, fruit and acidity - the triumvirate. It has excellent mouthfilling blackberry and pepper notes, with a pretty high kick of acidity on the finish, marked by its Petit Verdot. Harvest ran from 20 September to 13 October, with a yield of 45hl/ha. It is planned to age the 2018 in 35% new oak for 12 months. 1% Cabernet Franc makes up the blend. Drinking Window 2025 - 2038. 93 Lisa Perrotti-Brown – roberparker.com (Maart 2021) Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Siran wafts out of the glass with very pretty scents of red roses, cinnamon stick, chocolate-covered cherries and fragrant earth, giving way to a core of warm cassis and plum preserves, plus a touch of camphor. The medium to full-bodied palate is absolutely laden with rich, juicy black fruits, supported by velvety tannins and plenty freshness, finishing long and perfumed. This very classy, absolutely delicious Margaux tastes great now, but it will reward 3-4 years of cellaring and has the stuffing to continue thereafter for 20+ years. Drink 2024-2044. 91-93 Lisa Perrotti-Brown – roberparker.com (April 2019) Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Siran opens with quietly spoken notions of baked blackberries, blackcurrant cordial and bay leaves with hints of scorched earth, tar and tobacco. The full-bodied palate is restrained and elegantly played with subtle earth layers among the black fruit and a solid foundation of ripe, grainy tannins, finishing with earth and mineral nuances. 92-95 James Molesworth – winespectator.com (April 2019) 92 Neal Martin – vinous.com (Maart 2021) The 2018 Siran, picked from September 20 until October 18, is raised in around 33% new oak (as usual). It has an intense, focused nose of vibrant black fruit, more floral than its peers, with violet and incense aromas. The palate is framed by pliant tannins and crisp acidity, and delivers gentle grip and signs of graphite toward the finish. An accomplished Siran that is going to give 20-plus years of drinking pleasure. Drink 2023-2042. 90-92 Neal Martin – vinous.com (Oktober 2019) The 2018 Siran, picked from September 20 until October 18, is raised in around 33% new oak (as usual). It clearly possesses more fruit concentration than the previous vintage, presenting aromas of raspberry and wild strawberry and veins of blue fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and better weight and body than the 2017. The texture is a little grainy at the moment, but there is plenty of freshness on the pliant finish. Edouard Miailhe has overseen a very fine Margaux that will offer 20 years of drinking pleasure. Drink 2022-2040. 16,5-17/20 of 93-94 Bettane & Desseauve (April 2019) 15/20 Jean-Marc Quarin – quarin.com (April 2019) 93-95 Roger Voss – wineenthusiast.com (April 2019) 16,5-17/20 Revue des Vins de France – rvf.com (April 2019) 92-94 Jeff Leve – winecellarinsider.com (April 2019) SiranSiran in Labarde is eigendom van Edouard Miailhe sinds 2007. Zijn familie bezat indertijd Pichon Lalande en had een aandeel in Palmer. De wijngaard van 38 hectare (het domein telt 88 hectare) is aangeplant met 46% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, een opmerkelijke 11% Petit Verdot en de rest Cabernet Franc. De gemiddelde leeftijd van de wijngaard bedraagt 30 jaar en sommige wijnstokken dateren van de jaren 1920. 2014, 2015, 2016 en 2018 zijn de voorlopige hoogtepunten. Hubert de Boüard de Laforest van Angélus is er consulent. Er worden jaarlijks zo'n 10.000 kistjes geproduceerd. Als anekdote kunnen we meegeven dat Siran 1955 het voornaamste ingrediënt was die de beruchte Rudy Kurniawan gebruikte om oude flessen Lafite Rothschild te vervalsen! MiailheDe familie Miailhe bezat eerder Pichon Comtesse en een deel van Château Palmer. Ze zijn eigenaar in Margaux van Château Siran sinds 1859. Edouard Miailhe bestuurt het sinds 2007. Hij wordt bijgestaan door consulent Hubert de Boüard. Siran is vooral sinds 2015 terecht in de kijker komen te staan. |
