Chateau Siaurac Lalande de Pomerol 2016
92 Points, James Suckling – 92 Points, Decanter – 92 Points, Inside Bordeaux – 91 Points, VinousÂ
A 2016 Château Latour will set you back a cool $1,000/bottle. But the 2016 Château Siaurac Lalande de Pomerol—from the same family and winemaking team behind Château Latour—is an exceptional value. I’m offering it for a heck of a lot less – the best price in the country.
This is the second vintage produced as entirely biodynamic under Latour tutelage. Same ownership, same incredible resources, same obsessive attention to detail. Decanter called it the “best value” pick and gave it 92 points. Jane Anson awarded 92 points and wrote: “This is a wine that has improved over recent years and is really one to watch.” James Suckling also matched with 92 points of his own. This is a library release that is starting to really flex its muscles. It’s a must-have if you like ageworthy Bordeaux.
Original price was: $36.00.$29.99Current price is: $29.99.

92 Points, Decanter
The 2016 is naturally a little more subdued but there’s an aromatic complexity with earthy, dark fruit notes. The palate is juicy and fresh with good persistence, the tannic frame powerful but the tannins finely honed. This is clearly a wine for ageing and will reward a little patience. The ‘best value’ pick.
92 Points, Jane Anson- Inside Bordeaux
This is the second vintage produced as entirely biodynamic under Latour tutelage. These are good, bright and pliable tannins, and the fruit is extremely dark with good spice through the palate. I really like the cut herbs on the nose. This is a wine that has improved over recent years and is really one to watch.

Bright flowers and attractive red berries on offer here with a really succulent, velvety palate that offers rich red-plum flavors. Long and juicy resolve.
91 Points, Vinous
The 2016 Siaurac is silky, perfumed and exceptionally beautiful. Readers will find a restrained Lalande de Pomerol built on finesse and class. Sweet tobacco, menthol, licorice and pretty herbal notes add shades of complexity throughout.
I have an absolutely sensational library value pick to start off the new year.
