Chateau Siaurac, Lalande-de-Pomerol, France 2018 Anderson Valley We described the flavor progression

We described the flavor progression as: sweet fruits

ground ginger and spicy mineral underscoring the white peach and blanched almond flavors

dense and powerful with lots of intense tannins and a never ending finish

The tannins are firm but could perhaps be a little more pliable to fully open up the structure of the wine

Chateau Siaurac, Lalande-de-Pomerol, France 2018 Anderson Valley We described the flavor progressionThe 2018 Siaurac is a very pretty, silky Lalande de Pomerol. Sweet dark cherry, chocolate, spice and licorice are nicely delineated. The interplay of fruit intensity and energy makes for a compelling Right Bank red to drink over the next handful of years. This is very nicely done.
