Chateau Hosanna

Pomerol

"The 2017 Hosanna is a virile wine, just as it was en primeur, but it also comes across as a bit light in texture relative to the norm. Today, the Franc aromatics are quite expressive. Dried herbs, chocolate, lavender, mint and licorice lead into sweet purplish berry fruit in this unusually restrained Hosanna.Antonio Galloni 94The 2017 Hosanna was one of my favourite crus from Ets J-P Moueix from barrel. Now in bottle, it remains a delightful Pomerol. It has a generous and beautifully defined bouquet with ample red cherry, crushed strawberry and light black truffle aromas that are actually reminiscent of Blair-Monange. The palate is medium-bodied but denser, thicker than its peers. There is real substance to this Hosanna that puts the relatively lightweight Certan-de-May in its place. It shows good grip with a saline finish. This is a deeply impressive Hosanna. Rejoice! Neal Martin 95"
