In last year's tasting note, I mentioned that the 2009 Siran was one to watch. Revisiting the wine again almost (but not quite) a year later, the nose is unchanged with those blackcurrant and graphite aromas. The palate indicates a little more depth than 12 months ago, still tensile and fresh with a convincing grip. There is still some new oak to be fully assimilated towards the finish so afford it another year or two, no longer, and you will have a lovely 2009 Margaux on your hands, one that will give pleasure over the next 15-18 years. Tasted January 2017.

這款紅葡萄酒顏色深濃，帶有芬芳迷人的紅色水果香和 Cabernet 葡萄所特有的果香，頗具深度。該酒需要時(shí)間陳釀，來讓酒中各個(gè)要素相互融合以達(dá)到最終平衡。

89-91 Barrel sample. Very structured wine, dense tannins, weighty, extracted and dark. The fruit is hard to find in all this. ——R.V.(8/9/2010)—— 90
