The 2020 label, \"Ode à la vie\" by French Chilean artist Federica Matta, celebrates the joy of life after the pandemic. Merlot leads here, unusually for Margaux, and it brings a plush, opulent heart that Cabernet Sauvignon frames with structure and blackcurrant freshness. A little Petit Verdot adds spice and colour. Powerful and juicy yet elegantly polished, it is a wine for roast lamb, duck or a long Sunday lunch. Decant it first, or lay a few bottles down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDeep garnet purple in the glass. The nose is generous and perfumed, with blackcurrant, blueberry, black and red cherry and black raspberry, plus dried lavender, graphite, leafy tobacco and a touch of iodine. The palate is full and serious, yet tight and focused, with opulent berry fruit, caressing tannins and bright freshness. The finish is silky, refined and sneakily long. Delicious now with a decant, and it should age well for 20 years or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Press Ratings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e96 Points - Wine Enthusiast (2020 Vintage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\"brings together great tannins and richly delineated black fruits\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e95 Points - James Suckling (2020 Vintage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\"Very classy and polished with precision.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e93 Points - Decanter (2020 Vintage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\"powerful and juicy with well balanced, opulent berry fruits\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlend\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMerlot 47%, Cabernet Sauvignon 43%, Petit Verdot 9%, Cabernet Franc 1%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChâteau Siran is in the south of Margaux, on the gravelly Labarde plateau, and its history goes back to at least 1428. It has been owned by the Miailhe family for around 160 years, and 2020 marked their 160th harvest. Édouard Miailhe now runs the estate and is also president of the Margaux appellation, with Marjolaine Defrance as winemaker. The family are keen art collectors, and each vintage carries a label by a different artist. The vineyard has been certified High Environmental Value (HVE Level 3) since 2018, with woods and meadows left wild to protect biodiversity. Siran also has one of the more unusual cellars in Bordeaux, said to be built to withstand a nuclear accident.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Passion des Terroirs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62417216143747,"sku":"PDT16320","price":49.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/ChateauSiranMargaux2020.png?v=1790776187","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/chateau-siran-margaux-2020","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
