The 2018 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru Pinot Noir is a noteworthy expression from the Burgundy region, specifically the Clos des Lambrays sub-appellation in Morey St Denis. This vintage sits at an alcohol content of 13.0% and is sealed with a cork closure.

Decanter's review highlights the wine's classic, ageworthy nature, noting its "firm" character and "tannic backbone" due to the use of 80% whole bunches. The wine's profile is described as having layers of "dark black cherry and damson fruit," with a distinctive "stemmy, peaty, almost Islay malt whisky-like note."

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate offers a slightly less enthusiastic take, scoring it a 92 and noting that it hasn't fully realized its potential since its barrel days. The review mentions aromas of "ripe cherries, berries, spices, and orange rind," with more pronounced "cedary new oak" and rustic notes of "smoked meats and fresh leather."

On a brighter note, Vinous awarded this wine an impressive score of 97, emphasizing its "vivacious red fruit" and balanced palate. The review praises the wine's "ethereal quality" and "superb structure on the finish," describing it as "quintessentially Morey-Saint-Denis."

Jasper Morris, also giving a 97 score, describes the wine as having a "clear crimson to magenta colour" with "lifted fruit" and a "regal intensity." Morris highlights the wine's "glorious palate" and suggests it will be best enjoyed from 2030.

The 2018 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru is clearly a wine of varied impressions, with some reviewers noting its current rusticity and potential for future development, while others commend its structure and balance.
