Siaurac - Lalande de Pomerol 2018

Vinous

The 2018 Siaurac offers smudged blackberry, boysenberry and cassis scents on the nose, high-toned and gradually finding more refinement with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins that belie that structure that lies behind it. Attenuates slightly toward the finish, though I do appreciate the salinity on the aftertaste. Fine.

A soft, attractive red with plum and chocolate, as well as some spice and hazelnut undertones. It’s medium-bodied with medium round tannins and a fresh, savory finish. Drink or hold.

Chocolate mint and ripe plums are in the nose and on the silky soft, medium-bodied, forward palate. Give this just a few years in the cellar for more softness and complexity.

Very fine and polished with integration and finesse to the tannins. Lovely fruit.

A great Siaurac this year, with a succession of floral notes on the attack and continuing through the palate, playing gently with blueberry and redcurrant fruits. It's juicy and well handled, although there's a touch less ripeness evident than in their Vray Croix de Gay. The tannins are a touch more rustic too, but this is a lovely wine with grip and delicacy, and they have very clearly gone for restraint.
