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.

Offering up aromas of cassis, redcurrant and plums, the 2021 Siran is medium-bodied, tart and ephemeral. It hasn't fulfilled the promise shown by the samples I tasted en primeur.

Cherry stones, currants, tobacco and lemon peel on the nose. Sleek and focused, elegant, with fine-grained tannins, a medium body and a creamy, linear finish. Try from 2024.

Slightly high-pitched, but has freshness and elegance, with a pretty stream of damson plum and red currant fruit flavors lined with subtle tobacco, black tea and alder hints. Shows a savory echo on the finish, which has the vintage's trim edge, but this is better than most of its peers. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2030. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 9,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.  –JM

One of the highlights of the 2021 vintage in Margaux. It is lighter framed than you will find Siran in recent years, but it has flavour and grip, and plenty of juice running through the palate. The fresh acidities of the vintage come across as textured slate minerality, and there are bright fruits on offer. Hubert de Bouard consultant. Harvest September 23 to October 9, with a generous 51hl/h yield. 35% new oak.

Violets, cherries and tobacco leaf show up with ease on the palate. The wine is soft, fresh, polished, silky, vibrant, elegant and spicy. The finish is loaded with peppery, red currants, a touch of espresso and spicy plums. Give it a year or two of aging, and enjoy it over the following 15 or more years. Interestingly, this is the first time in ages, if not in history that the blend was dominated by Cabernet. The wine blends 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 11% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. 13% ABV. Drink from 2025-2040. 91-93

There is a large gap between the quality of the 2021 Siran and the Deuxième Vin because of the Merlot this year. Picked between September 23 and October 9, and matured in 35% new oak, the Siran has a delicate, perfumed bouquet of wild strawberry, raspberry and light cassis scents. The palate is malleable, with fleshy red fruit that segues into darker fruit laced with graphite. Nicely balanced, albeit with less substance than the 2019 or 2020 (as you would expect), this Siran should drink well over the next 12–15 years. (13.0% alcohol)

Rubinrot. Anfangs verhalten, etwas scheu, öffnet sich mit Luft, zeigt deutliche Röstnoten und eine rote Frucht. Der Gaumen ist straff, merklich Gerbstoff, diese sind leicht klebrig, hängen etwas an, die Frucht ist knackig, die Säure gut integriert, vielleicht wollte man hier etwas zu viel aus dem Jahrgang rausholen. Nachverkosten bei der Arrivage. 2025-2040+ (Verkostet im April 2022. Dourthe)

Très beau nez de violette, de fruits frais, de rose avec un bel éclat et une fraicheur assumée. Bouquet très élégant pour le millésime. Légère à moyennement dense, la bouche reste élégante, fraiche malgré la charge tannique un peu asséchante en finale.
