Domaine Gerard Raphet Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2018
A truly majestic new wine that will provide awe-inspiring thrills tonight (after decanting) and also for at least the next decade. This spell-bounding red features a luxuriously smooth texture plus a captivating array of fresh red fruit (raspberries, cranberry, pomegranate) deftly melded together with exotic spices and hints of savory truffles that will unfold over the next decade. Given the stupendous quality of the 2018 vintage, this masterpiece may be enjoyed anytime between now and 2033. Bravo!
