Cuvée Spéciale Côtes de Provence Tibouren
Côtes de Provence, Provence, France
More booze than I expected and wanted (labeled as 14%) but delicious nonetheless. Minerals, barely ripe bramble, M+ acid.

2013 vintage, recent purchase on sale at Astor. Hard not to say sherry like. On top of the sherry you have raspberry and bazooka gum on the nose but also smells like the ocean a bit. Palette opens up with a ephemeral bit of candied fruit bomb that quickly leads to intense honeyed black licorice and tonic, evolves into a decaying tonka bean finish. Unctuous mouthfeel. Extremely long finish and a journey with every sip.

This is so good; pick up a bottle if you see it. I'm having a hard time describing it, but it's light, fruity, refreshing and minerally.
