Saint Jacques de Siran 2018 75cl

Tasting Note

"This wine is made from vines on the border of Margaux, so is classified as AOC Bordeaux Superieur. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, from vines with an average age of 26 years, it is a perfect wine to drink once it is five years old or more whilst your Chateau Siran is maturing. Soft fruity notes, a lovely tobacco and leather hint to it too. Just delicious."
