2005 Chateau Siran, Margaux, Bordeaux

Today, we'll discuss some of the more reasonably-priced wines from Margaux (most of the Margaux wines are much higher than our $40 limit).  From Robert Parker, "This property in Labarde in the southern part of the Margaux appellation is making consistently delicious, fragrant, deeply colored wines that are of the highest quality."  The 2005 vintage received 89 points from Robert Parker:  "A structured, muscular Margaux, the 2005 Siran exhibits scents of minerals, earth, black currants, and incense.  Meaty and rich, it is ideal for drinking between 2008 and 2018."  The list price is $32.
