The latest cuvée from Clos Cibonne, the only Provence estate allowed to make almost 100% Tibouren thanks to historical precedence. History inspired this wine, harking back to the time before the wine was bottled and was syphoned off from the barrel on demand. Unsurprisingly, there are plenty of oak aromatics on the nose, palate, and structure here, with notes of vanilla, dried apricots, jasmine tea, sour orange, opulent ripe fruit, and saline mineral tension with notes of black tea. Despite age, this still has lots of youthful energy.
