The Raphet Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2019 is another triumph for this humble vigneron! Consistent with the top tier 2019 vintage reds, this majestic new import will provide flashy thrills tonight (after decanting) and mature into sublime pleasure over the next decade. This bold red features a luxuriously smooth texture plus a captivating array of massive red fruit (raspberries, cranberry, pomegranate and dried cherry) notes deftly melded together with exotic spices that will unfold over the next decade. Given the stupendous quality of Burgundy’s 2019 vintage, this masterpiece may be enjoyed anytime between now and 2034. Bravo!
