There are only 1,000 cases of this sumptuous, open-knit effort that proprietor Christian Moueix has carved out of the property formerly known as Certan Giraud (the oldest vines and best parcels now make up the newly named Hosanna). The deep ruby-colored 2000, the debut vintage under Christian Moueix's management, offers up a sweet nose of black cherry and plum liqueur intermixed with licorice, truffles, and toffee. Made in a plump, hedonistic, medium to full-bodied, dense style, it is uncharacteristically forward and plush for a Moueix wine. Anticipated maturity: now-2013.
