2015 Clos Cibonne Tibouren Rose Cuvee des Vignettes, Cotes de Provence Cru Classe

From: Côtes de Provence, FranceVarietal: Tibouren Taste & Critical Acclaim: This isn’t your average rosé! Made from the rare Tibouren grape (90% Tibouren, 10% Grenache), this exceptional vintage from Clos Cibonne embodies elegance and age-worthiness with the best of them—Seville orange, ginger, red fruit & quince, grilled walnut, apricot, and salinity. Nervy and delicious, this rosé is aspecial treat. Aged under flor for added complexity, the 2015 vintage is hitting its peak now— beautifully layered and perfect for fall sipping. “Limpid orange. Vibrant, mineral-tinged red berry and pit fruit aromas, along with suggestions of jasmine, orange pith and succulent herbs. Smooth and energetic in the mouth, offering concentrated raspberry and peach flavors and a hint of bitter blood orange. Powerful yet graceful in style, showing outstanding energy and thrust on a very long, sappy finish that leaves behind juicy red berry and citrus fruit notes. (Josh Raymonds)” —Vinous, 92
