(11-1998) Not as good as I hoped. Slightly rustic. Dark brick-red color, with a black center and an amber rim. Smoke, berry and earth aromas. Medium- to full-bodied, with very velvety tannins but a slightly dry finish.
(05-2016) Tasted at the vertical at the château, the 1982 Château Siran appears fully mature in colour. It has a well-defined, earthy bouquet with touches of mint infusing the vestiges of red berry fruit, mixed with fennel and white pepper. The palate is medium-bodied with fine structure, although it is clearly not as concentrated as the top wines of the vintage. This is still a little rustic and foursquare, but it has aged in accomplished fashion and what it might lack in sophistication it makes up for in freshness.
