Clos Cibonne Cotes De Provence Rouge Cuvee Speciale

Orange confit, raspberry, dried strawberries

Grenache and rossese. Fruit forward, pretty big and dense some tannins on the back end. Lots of black fruit and some white pepper

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 .

Light ruby color, bright acidity, minerality
