Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jun 20
A large format courtesy of the Académie du Vin soirée, the 1955 Siran from double magnum has a gorgeous medicinal nose with blackcurrants and menthol. Medium-bodied on the palate, it is quite rich and what feels like a late-picked Margaux. What it lacks in finesse it compensates with sheer bravura. Thoroughly enjoyable.
