This is polished and fragrant, expressing notes of plums, mulberries, chocolate, nutmeg and hazelnuts. Medium- to full-bodied, silky and elegant with creamy layers of dark fruit. Very fine tannins. Long and seamless. Try...

Smoked blackberries and ripe cherry fruit combine with green pepper, black pepper, roses and liquorice spice on the nose, the Cabernet Franc coming through in the aromatics. Devilishly sensual texture and depth of flavour...

One of my favorite châteaux, the 2021 Château Hosanna is 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc from 4.5 hectares of blue clay soils in the heart of Pomerol. Harvest between September 24 and October 6, it has a vivid opaque...

Spicy black plums, chocolate, licorice, espresso, chocolate, and cherry blossoms create the perfume. On the palate, the wine is equally creamy, and fresh, allowing allowing its display of chocolate-covered black cherries...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2024

The 2021 Hosanna offers a solid showing in bottle, mingling aromas of cassis and minty blueberries with notions of baking chocolate, licorice and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, it's...

Vinous, February 2024

The 2021 Hosanna is certainly one of the stronger efforts in Pomerol in this vintage. The bouquet comes racing out with ebullient black fruit that verges on too opulent (like I found some of the early vintages of...

Wine Spectator, December 2023

Solidly built, this has an abundant but fine-grained structure, which supports a core of steeped plum, sweet bay, red and black tea and singed sandalwood notes. The long finish offers a lingering mineral note and savory...

This remains tight in its tannic constuction even after the softening impact of barrel ageing, and a slight dip in the mid palate shows the imprint of the vintage, but there is also a delcious textural slate character...

The 2021 Hosanna, a Bordeaux Blend from Pomerol, France, presents a compelling offering in a challenging vintage. Produced by Hosanna, this red wine is made primarily from 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, grown on 4.5 hectares of blue clay soils.

James Suckling gives it a notable score of 95, describing the wine as "polished and fragrant," with "notes of plums, mulberries, chocolate, nutmeg, and hazelnuts." He praises its "silky and elegant" texture and "very fine tannins," recommending consumption after 2026. Jeff Leve also scores it 94, highlighting its "creamy, fresh" profile and "long, supple, concentrated, creamy finish." He notes the low yields this year at only 28 hectoliters per hectare.

Jeb Dunnuck, awarding a score of 94, commends the wine's "vivid opaque purple hue" and aromas of "black and blue fruits, iron, graphite, and damp earth." He believes it will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and shine over the next 15-20 years. Meanwhile, Decanter describes it as having a "devilishly sensual texture," with "smoked blackberries and ripe cherry fruit," and an "intensity" that balances power with elegance.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, through William Kelley, gives it a 93, noting its "solid showing" with aromas of "cassis and minty blueberries" and a "spicy finish." This matches the assessment by Vinous and Wine Spectator, both of whom also score it 93. Neal Martin from Vinous finds it "one of the stronger efforts in Pomerol," with "plush black fruit" and a "peppery" character. Wine Spectator describes it as "solidly built" with a "fine-grained structure" and a "lingering mineral note."

Jane Anson gives a slightly lower score of 92, noting the wine's "tight tannic construction" but appreciating its "textural slate character" and "brambled berry fruits."

Overall, the 2021 Hosanna offers a rich and layered profile, praised for its elegance, texture, and potential for aging.
