Château Siaurac

5/15/2017 Le Figaro - L LE FIGARO - L'AVIS DU VIN (CLUB VIN) : 16 / 20 Petits fruits noirs frais, floral. Bouche fraîche, gourmande, tannins ronds, finale tonique. 5/10/2017 Wein Wisser WEIN WISSER (RENÉ GABRIEL) : 17 / 20 5/3/2017 Bettane & Desseauve BETTANE & DESSEAUVE ( BETTANE & DESSEAUVE) : 92 / 100 Belle allonge profonde, racée, subtile, long, fruits rouges, un vin raffiné. 4/27/2017 The Wine Cellar Insider THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER (JEFF LEVE) : 90-92 / 100 A bouquet of flowers, a box of Valrhona, silky tannins and soft, ripe, plummy fruit create a nice character that will only get better with a few years of age. 4/26/2017 Vinous VINOUS (ANTONIO GALLONI) : 89-92 / 100 One of the sleepers of the vintage, the 2016 Siaurac is a gorgeous, racy Lalande de Pomerol endowed with tons of class and personality. Silky and voluptuous, but not at all overdone, the 2016 finds a super-appealing stylistic middle ground that captures plenty of intensity in both aromas and flavors. Blue/purplish fruit overtones, lavender, herbs and mint shade into the persistent, nuanced finish. Tasted three times. 4/20/2017 Robinson JANCIS ROBINSON (JANCIS ROBINSON) : 16 / 20 Firm bright crimson. Very zesty and fresh on the nose. Not that much tannin. Pretty. Gamey energy comes pounding out of the glass. Very sweet start and obviously polished tannins and good quality oak. Round initially with rather sandy tannins on the end. Tasted again on 2 April from a sample taken on 28 February: Very zesty and fresh on the nose. Round and sweet. Not that much tannin. Pretty. 16+ 4/10/2017 Wine Spectator WINE SPECTATOR (JAMES MOLESWORTH) : 88-91 / 100 Light charcoal and melted licorice hints weave amid a core of gently steeped plum and blackberry fruit. Offers a fresh, supple finish.—J.M. 4/5/2017 Jamessuckling.com JAMESSUCKLING.COM (JAMES SUCKLING) : 91-92 / 100 A dense and fruity wine with blackberry, licorice and mineral character. Solid center palate of fruit and tannins here. Fascinated to watch its development.
