Cuvée Spéciale des Vignettes Côtes de Provence Tibouren Rosé

Serious, textured, earthy, and very unique.

Extra interesting rose, deeply colored, texturally thick, though it is chock full of minerality and acidity for days! #provence

Aside from Lopéz de Heredia 'Tondonia' rosado, this maybe one of the best rosés I've ever had. Color is almost tawny, nose is a bit mute, candied fruit, calvados. Rich yet peppered, earthy. Acidic yet round, it's ridiculously complex. Just great

Goes down like water, over all delicious, but also has a rustic funky finish this year..

Very impressive with Provençal gratin and sausages from Belcampo. Enough salty tang and complexity for the anchovy, enough fun refreshing fruit for the sausage and more complexity than any other still rose I have had this year.

2012

Funky, flor aged rose with great texture. Not for everyone, but very interesting and complex.

Crazy serious rosé. Mineral and dried flowers. Fruit hits 30 seconds into the extremely long finish. I might drink the whole bottle just trying to figure it out.

That's the ticket. Wait til the fall.

2012 is off the charts.
