91 Point Rose....

This one just scored 90 points in The Wine Spectator and 91 from Robert Parker!
Château/Domaine de Lancyre 2011 Rosé
2011 Chateau Lancyre Coteaux du Languedoc 
Rosé Pic St.-Loup...$15.99
"One of the finest roses I tasted in 2012 is Domaine de Lancyre’s 2011 Pic St. Loup Rose. Super-ripe notes of raspberries, garrigue and spice jump from the glass of this solidly constructed blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Cinsault. One does not usually find roses of this quality from the Coteaux du Languedoc, but this 135-acre estate has fashioned a true beauty."
Rated 91/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate This rosé is plush and rich, filled with flavors of ripe apple, pear and peach that are accented by smoky notes. A spiced melon note lingers on the creamy finish. Drink now. 7,080 cases made.–KM
Rated 90/100 The Wine Spectator
