The 2020 Hosanna is a sumptuous Pomerol, as it always is. Blueberry jam, crème de cassis, lavender, cloves and sweet new oak are all amplified in a dramatic, opulent wine that shows the more flamboyant side of Pomerol. Always, Hosanna is a wine of great individuality and character, but it is also less complete than the best wines in the Moueix stable. It's always a soloist, never an orchestra to me. 12/2022

The 2020 Hosanna has a spellbinding bouquet with beautifully-defined red berry fruit, incense and dried flower aromas, underlying graphite notes surfacing with modest aeration. There is real power and drive in these aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a strict opening. Finely-chiseled tannins, very focused, slightly earthy in style, this is endowed with a compelling sense of build towards the finish. This is a Hosanna with great breeding and predestined for long-term aging. 12/2022

Sporting an opaque purple-black color, the 2020 Hosanna gallops out of the glass with bright, vivacious scents of crushed black and red plums, mulberries and redcurrant jelly, leading to underlying scents of powdered cinnamon, lilacs, pencil shavings and damp slate with a hint of wild sage. The medium to full-bodied palate is exquisitely constructed, giving lots of nuanced, tightly wound black fruits and earthy layers with a fine-grained texture and seamless freshness, finishing long and mineral laced.

Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez très aromatique, au fruité mûr. Velouté en entrée de bouche, offrant une texture très raffinée, le vin caresse le palais juteux, délicatement gras, en gagnant de la profondeur au cours de son déroulé, il s’achève long sur une tannicité très enveloppée, avec une nuance de fruits noirs très rare dans cette propriété. . Assemblage : 75 % de merlot et 25 % de cabernet franc.

This shows very intense, old-vine character with bark, black mushroom and dark fruit. Full-bodied and creamy with unique flavors of earth and fruit. Layered and soulful. The best Hosanna ever? Merlot and cabernet franc. 45% from old vines, dating from the late 1950s.
