No, this has all those classic notes that made Bordeaux popular in the first place, like cedar, saddle leather, tobacco leaf, and dried fruits. I had a flashback while tasting this that it was the early 2000s and I had Bordeau from the nineties in my glass!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChateau Siran has long been recognized as one of the top estates in Margaux. The property has been in the Miailhe family for six generations????? a total of 160 years. Today, the property covers 88 hectares, with 38 hectares planted to vines. The other fifty hectares are left as woods and meadows, for their beauty and to promote biodiversity, a priority of the Siran team.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe majority of Chateau Siran?????s vines are planted in the commune of Margaux, but they also have a very special 11 hectare parcel on the border, which is classified as Bordeaux Superieur and bottled as ?????Saint-Jacques de Siran?????. The terroir here has clay topsoil over the famous Bordeaux sandy gravel subsoil. The vines are planted at a density of 5,000 vines per hectare and average 25 years old. The Miailhe family has practiced sustainable agriculture since 2000 and the vineyards have been certified sustainable, HVE3 since 2018. Only organic fertilizers are used and they work with grass cover and plowing to control weeds\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"DAVID BOWLER WINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44827664253175,"sku":"PJ01144","price":14.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/4084\/2436\/files\/saint-jaques-de-siran-bordeaux-superieur-2018_PJ01144_11643c65-e1b1-4c44-ad3b-773ad1325c67.jpg?v=1773693170"},{"product_id":"chateau-la-caze-bellevue-saint-emilion-2022","title":"Chateau La Caze Bellevue Saint Emilion 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe wines are very fruity, round and balanced.

Its dense, glass-staining purple hue is followed by a sensational perfume of cr??me de cassis, graphite, darker chocolate, scorched earth, and flowers. Full-bodied on the palate, it brings extravagant levels of fruit as well as a seamless mouthfeel, beautifully integrated oak, tannins, and acidity, no hard edges, and a gorgeous finish. It shines even today, yet it has beautiful underlying structure and will evolve gracefully over the coming 30+ years. The 2022 is based on 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, and 4% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, aged 18-20 months in 80% new oak.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e99 points James Suckling\u003cbr\u003eA mind-blowing Leoville Poyferre, probably one of the best for a long time. Huge depth and structure, showing a deep matrix of fruit full of fresh blackberries and a dash of ink and lead pencil. Such verticality on the full-bodied palate with beautiful balance and a clear finish that goes on and on for more than a minute. Great potential ahead. This was tasted at the UCGB tasting and was one of the best wines of the day. Drink after 2028. It should improve in the next 10 to 15 years.","brand":"TWINS BORDEAUX, AMERICA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49550539030775,"sku":"PJ01795","price":114.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/4084\/2436\/files\/chateau-leoville-poyferre-saint-julien-2022_PJ01795_b48ca285-8f2f-473f-8204-0591129cca4d.jpg?v=1773693366"}],"url":"https:\/\/pjwine.com\/collections\/bordeaux-wine.oembed","provider":"PJ Wine, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
