Wine Spectator June - 2009
Wine Spectator
Minty aromas, with an excellent concentration of currant, blackberry and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a dense palate, with lots of fruit. Powerful. Still needs time to open, but a beautiful and serious claret. Slightly one-dimensional still.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Tasted at the vertical tasting held at the property, the 1988 Château Siran, a blend of 45% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc, has a light autumnal leaf and briary-scented nose that seems innocuous at first, but opens nicely with aeration in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, very foursquare and masculine like many 1988s, though this one does not seem dry on the finish. It is stoic and correct. By no means the most enjoyable Margaux you will ever drink, yet you might appreciate its body and depth that remain sound. It's a bit tough, a word I noticed was used by Robert Parker, as well as austere, but I noticed how it mellowed with time in the glass and ended up quite enjoyable. Worth seeking out if you have a penchant for slightly dusty "classic" Claret. Tasted February 2016.

Dark red colour. Lively. Good intensity. Nose of medium intensity. Hints of caramel and wood on a fruity base with a vegetal touch. Soft attack developing on a round fruity structure, evolving on a vanilla flavour towards a finish where the tannin is present but enveloped. Finishes powerful and slightly warm. Good persistence with a floral nuance. Wait.

Château Siran
CHÂTEAU SIRAN, Margaux, Bordeaux wine. Produced on sandy, gravelly soil, Siran wines are typical of the great growths of the Margaux Appellation. Both powerful and refined, they always seek the perfect balance between tannins, fruit, and acidity. CHÂTEAU SIRAN As a wine for long-term aging, time will bring that softness on the palate that so often refers to silk and velvet. As a Margaux wine, resulting from a subtle blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot, Château Siran generally favors finesse, femininity, and silkiness over the pure power and virility of some Médoc wines. The high percentage of Petit Verdot, which can reach up to 15% of the final blend in some years, brings a spicy finish that reinforces the unique character of Château Siran wines. Made under the guidance of the great oenologist Denis Dubourdieu, Château Siran is both charming in its youth and suitable for very long aging. It will surprise enthusiasts with the complexity of aromas developed over time.
