Beautiful nose with ripe strawberries, red apple and vanilla. Wonderful floral notes too. Sumptuous ripe red fruit and juicy acidity on the palate with finely knit tannins. Full-bodied and very juicy with a soft silky texture and good length. It's hard not to drink it now. But much better in 2017.

Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Hosanna gives up baked black cherries, dried mulberries and fruitcake scents with hints of fragrant earth, baking spices and dried roses. Full-bodied, the palate has impressive freshness and lovely, ripe, plush tannins supporting the spicy fruit, finishing with great length.

A fleshy, alluring style, with strong structure, displaying plum, fig and boysenberry fruit laced with incense, Lapsang souchong tea and violet notes. Almost creamy, this features a thread of charcoal lending extra drive and depth on the finish. Seems to expand rapidly in the glass, boding well for cellaring. Best from 2017 through 2030. – JM

Tasted at JP Moueix the Hosanna '10 has a ripe opulent bouquet with very fine delineation and focus with notes of blackberry dark plum truffle oil a hint of walnut and a faint touch of bell pepper. Complex and engaging. The palate is medium-bodied with that slight walnut tang on the entry good intensity of fruit very linear and strict at the moment but there is a flourish towards the finish with notes of blackberry allspice and orange rind. Long in the mouth this is an excellent Hosanna.

This is a wine that is all tannin at this young stage. It is firmly dry and structured with a tight, dark texture. It has the concentrated fruit to sustain this initial severity, but will need many more years to show its power.
