We drank this wine at Christmas 2018 with roasted turkey with a prune/abricot/nut filling, accompanied with oil-cooked assorted vegetables with gribiche. It was by far the nicest wine of the evening, and paired very well. There were lots of different tastes in the food; the wine could handle that well, it was soft and velvety. We ran out of this vintage and the last bottle was a 2014 one, which was much rougher and frankly not yet ready.

Bordeaux 2011 from bottle (Park Hyatt Hotel, Washington D.C.): There is a silkiness to this Siran that is endearing. OK, a bit of drying detracts on the finish, but it is not over extracted. Just a vintage nature and probably good for earlier drinking!

Medium bodied, light in style, focused on red fruits and spice, this is a wine to drink young.
