VINTAGE 2016
TASTING NOTES
The product of a classic vintage, Sirius 2016 is a sustained garnet red with ruby and dark purple tints. Powerful from first sniff, it opens out to display a rich palate of red fruits, vanilla and spice with toasty notes. The meaty, beautifully round attack gives way to a superbly textured palate followed by an aftertaste which is just begging to unfold. The ripe tannins afford delicious balance and fine length without astringency to this blend. Drinking well from 2019, but can be laid down for several years. Without a doubt one of the flagship wines of the appellation.
AGEING
It will be enjoyed wonderfully from 2019 and offers a potential for aging for several years.

TASTING NOTES
True to previous vintages, Sirius 2018 is superbly coloured; a brooding crimson with dark purple tints heralds in the richness which awaits the taster. The expressive bouquet of black fruits, blackcurrant and black cherry, imparts astonishing complexity which evolves towards elegant toasty notes and vanilla aromas - the fruit of superb wine craftsmanship. On the palate, finely balanced tannins are wrapped in smooth, creamy extract, offering immediate pleasure and a succulence that goes on and on. A fresh, fruity back-of-palate signs off this great Bordeaux with a flourish.

The round palate, warm and powerful, translates well the attention to perfection. The material is rich and suave on the attack, accompanied by expressive fruit, on well-balanced and perfectly well-coated tannins which confer beautiful length to this wine.

TASTING NOTES
Sirius is made from a selection of our best plots coupled with meticulous vinification it offers all the generosity and character of its terroir. The dark color, with garnet highlights, is extended by an expressive nose with notes of perfectly ripe fruit, blackcurrant and blackberry, sweet spices and an elegant touch of lightly toasted wood. On the palate, the delicious tannins are coated in a fleshy and silky matter giving it balance and remarkable length. Certainly a proud ambassador of the Great Wines of Bordeaux
AGEING
