Chateau Siran was, at one point in time, designated one of the Cru Bourgeoise Exceptionnel. I’m not sure if it was politics or the classification was just too convoluted? Perhaps a bit of both? Regardless, I think they have since left the classification all together. That being said, things seem to be going just fine at the estate if this bottle is indicative.

Popped and poured into a Boa decanter about an hour prior to service. The 2020 pours a deep ruby with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of cassis, jalapeño pepper, pencil lead, tobacco, cedar chest, gravel, baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with sneaky, medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose with tart black fruit. The finish is long, dark and elegant, by Bordeaux standards. Drink now with patience (and a decant) through 2035+

2020 vintage. Medium body Espresso nose. Darker fruit than expected based on previous vintages with this producer (think dark plum skins vs dark plum and slightly tart blackberry vs ripe blackberry). Seemingly built for a slightly longer haul. Not the 25-40 year, Margaux haul, mind you. Possibly best in the 5-10 year time frame. Slightly less accessible than other, recent vintages. Not necessarily a bad thing. 1.23.24

Nose: closed.

Palate: super wound up tightly.

Too young.
