2017 Clos Cibonne Rosé Château Cibonne Cuvée Hommage à Marius



May 1st follow-up notes.

An aha moment!

"The Cuvee Marius is aged under a veil of yeast in the manner of a Fino Sherry, and as such is supposed to be oxidative with a savory, nutty character that is not at all like a regular rosé (almost like an extreme version of the rosado from Lopez de Heredia)"

So I believe the wine was sound. It just presents very differently than a standard rose.

April 30th notes
Wow! This was not anything like I expected. It seemed very oxidized to me .... like a sherry at first but then maybe more similar to a Jura wine... 
90% Tibouren, 10% Grenache

Does anyone have any recent experience with this wine? (The Marius Cuvee)
