Siran Vintage:2016 2012 should be a terrific

2012 should be a terrific vintage for this storied wine though note that plenty of patience will be required as I doubt that this will drink especially well young

Supple and broad but lively

Despite the young vines the palate impression of the medium weight flavors is lovely as it is at once caressing and refined

As is almost always the case

Siran Vintage:2016 2012 should be a terrificTextbook warm cigar, cocoa and mulled currant aromas and flavors, with rich, velvety structure melding beautifully with the fruit notes while the charcoal edged finish smolders nicely. Really nice showing. Blind 2000 Bordeaux retrospective (December 2015). Drink now through 2023. 8,250 cases made. JM
