2022 Château Hosanna, Pomerol
£700.00
Description
This is one of Pomerol’s smallest properties (just over 4 hectares in production), regularly giving one of its most complex and thrillingly succulent wines. In 2022, Hosanna has particularly impressive, fresh perfume and mouthcoating richness, thanks to the produce of the old vine plots having been exceptional this year. Some of these date back to 1956. Cabernet Franc represents 26% of the blend, the balance being Pomerol’s classic grape, Merlot, now ageing in 50% new French oak barrels. Colour is deep purple, aromas being gorgeous, lifted and appetising. Palate is full and supple, with characteristic, dense fleshiness and incredibly fine, velvety tannins. The finish has poise and stunning freshness, with outstanding length (for drinking 2030-2045+).
