Medium light ruby with a wide watery pink rim . Quite aromatic with fresh cut herbs like rosemary and thyme , strawberry jam, sweet black cherry and black pepper. On the palate this is quite rounded and sweetly fruited with red fruits dominating , cherry , strawberry and raspberry , with some of the black pepper and thyme notes of the nose . There is a bit of warmth and generosity on the palate, with a round mouthfeel . However it has balanced acidity with ripe but noticable tannins , and a saline , seaside tinge on the reasonable finish . Enjoyable now this will probably age alright over the next 5 years or so , though with more time it will loose its juicy , fruit driven character that makes it appealing . — a month ago

So this happened,,,, I need to rethink & re score every Rose’ I’ve had. This is Beyond anything I’ve opened. I only started drinking Rose’ as a compromise with wifey who didn’t care for Chardonnay. But I’m not sharing these bottles, I have her porch pounders separated. No pounding these
Winery notes as follows,

Clos Cibonne is one of the most historic and prestigious estates in Provence. They are one of the few estates to cultivate and focus on Tibouren, an heirloom variety with very few hectares planted. They also age their wines under fleurette, a thin veil of yeast similar to that found in Jerez and Jura, for a year in large oak casks. The Cuvée Marius takes these practices and raises it to the next level. Named for Marius Roux, the wine is an homage to him and the original Château name. Marius would load his wine in barrel onto his cart and travel to the village every week on market days to sell his special wine. Made of 90% Tibouren and 10% Grenache, the wine is aged in smaller casks for a couple of years. It is almost a rosé in name only with its onion skin color, full body and layered intensity. This is what the French call a gastronomic wine, easy to pair with complex meals. Suitable for drinking now, this wine also has many more years ahead of it. — 3 years ago

Full-bodied Rosé tasting of cream, vanilla, and white fruit. An extraordinary and more complex Rosé than I have had generally had.

Light salmon pink centre wide watery rim . This has light floral and fresh herbal notes with a slightly yeasty touch , some orange rind and light raspberry . On the palate this is quite creamy , showing some strawberry, raspberry , along with a herbal tinge and a slightly chalky, spiced orange rind finish . Good length and balance with a slightly salty acidity . This can develop quite well over the next 3-4 years , but is drinking well now . — a month ago

Medium light salmon pink , just a hint of orange . Quite fresh and fruited on the nose with some peach , herbal hints , rose and touch of raspberry . On the palate quite rounded and rich, some red strawberry , raspberry , peach and a saline note , that helps to balance . Balanced alcohol and creamy mouthfeel . Moderate acidity with good depth, quite good structure and reasonable herbal tinged length . This can probably age a little longer too , from now and over the next 5 years . Also, was probably the best match overall with the seafood based dishes we had . — 3 months ago
