Richard, Siran is a cru which I have enjoyed in the past. Can't you tell us any more about this 2014 bottle other than mere numbers? Body, backbone, fragrance, acidity, etc?

Tim, I am afraid I am really bad at descriptions. Of the categories you mention, I would say they were medium for a typical Margaux, with a good fragrance, but the flavor was definitely better than average and it is a good example of LB red Bdx.. For $24.99 a bottle a few years ago I consider it a really great bargain.

Without being able to describe it, I can't figure out how you can rate it. Body--light med or full? Finish--short, average, long? Tannins--agreeable, harsh, gritty, green, dusty? Fruit--primary or some signs of secondary development? Expected longevity?

Jenise: Body: medium for a Margaux. Finish: average plus. Tannins: agreeable. Fruit: developing nicely. Longevity: I would estimate average plus.

Nowadays I rate Bdx. & Bdx. blends without much conscious thinking.

It's good to think things through though if you want to share your experience in a forum like this. As Tim expressed, numbers are pretty meaningless to others. Without more context, "I drank '14 Siran" is no more significant or relatable than "I ate a hardboiled egg today." That's a one-way conversation because the person who reads it justifiably thinks "so what?" and moves on. You'll end up talking to yourself. We're not picking on you, we just don't want you to feel ignored and we're trying to help you avoid that.
