Made from yields of one ton of fruit per acre (15 hectoliters per hectare), this saturated ruby-colored 2000 boasts aromas of celery seed, earth, cloves, spice, and red fruits. Structured, dense, powerful, and muscular, with plenty of meat on its bones, it has more in common with a Jensen cuvee than its two siblings. Still closed, with obvious spiciness as well as depth, give it 1-3 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following 12-15 years.

A challenge. It’s huge and extracted, with massive aromas of black cherries, cocoa and slightly sweet cured meat. In the mouth, it’s thick as honey, bursting with bitter cherry and unsweetened cocoa flavors, and with good acidity. But it’s disjointed and tannic now. Clearly built for the long haul, and the odds are slightly in its favor. Try after 2006.——S.H.(12/15/2004)—— 88
