Stunning aromas of blackberries, dark chocolate, hazelnut and black olive skin. Full- bodied, with ultra-fine tannins that feel fine silky on my palate. Long finish of coffee bean, chocolate and dark fruits. Best Hosanna ever. Try in 2020.

Deep in color, concentration and flavor, the wine is rich, concentrated, complex and plummy. Still young for its age, you find a combination of smoke, truffle, espresso bean, black cherry and dark chocolate on the nose and mouth. Lush, opulent and deep on the palate, a few more years will a lot more complexity and refinement to the wine. 97 Points Read more at:https://www.thewinecellarinsider.com/wine-tasting-note/?vintage=2009&wine=Chateau%20Hosanna

95+ Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 Hosanna has a dark-fruited, broody nose of stewed black plums, blackberry preserves and blackcurrant cordial with touches of pencil lead, bay leaves, beef drippings and fungi. Full-bodied with a firm, chewy frame, the palate gives loads of savory/earthy layers and a ferrous finish. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Gentle gunsmoke sets off rich aromas of plum, blueberry and black cherry. This is full of gourmet Pomerol notes, all very mellow, with tannins that are lying back and inviting you in, utterly confident in their ability to hang on until you decide to join. The heat is a tiny bit evident through the finish, with some clove and smoked caramel edging. Plenty of 2009 signature, and it will benefit from food.

There is a lovely plush feel here with roasted tobacco and fig notes carried by velvety tannins. Deceptively dense with darker currant and anise notes blossoming through the finish which still manages to stay supple and rounded. This steadily opens in the glass. Best from 2013 through 2028. -JM
