  April 4, 2024 - Wow…
  
  Sight: Deep Ruby color with heavy glass staining
  
  Nose: Explosive and room filling purple flower perfume! This is insanely complex upon opening it needs to breath a long time. Intoxicating aromas of Blackberry, dark cherry coulis, Black Currant, licorice, truffle, Graphite and lots of cocoa/vanilla from a big hit of Exceptional French oak. There is a lot of green pepper at the moment from the 30% cab franc adding to the insane depth but I honestly really like it. (It’s much more perceived in the nose than on the palate)
  
  Taste: So concentrated this is just a rockstar on the nose and that follows on the palate. This wine drinks like Princes’s performance of purple rain at the super bowl, it’s iconically good. This is so balanced and accessible that even young I find that the fruit while powerful is pure and fresh! The lovely cocoa from the heavy oak in the wine is delicious and the tannins are as fine as can be. Ripe tannins with just a long long evolving finish and palate.
  
  Overall: The value here is off the charts… This is beautiful and has a complexity and pedigree that is hard to express… I like to say some wines just need to be tasted and this is one of them. This is an exceptional 2020, I’m so happy I snagged a few of these! I can tell this will go the distance and become even more ludicrous and I can’t wait for that day. I couldn’t stop smelling and tasting and then my glass was gone ! Haha

  December 26, 2023 - Dark ruby. Lovely nose, fragrant with ripe plum, dark cherries, blueberry, liquorice, graphite, spice, floral. Medium bodied with medium ripe tannins, balancing acidity, layered and vibrant, well integrated oak, spice with long finish. A great pomerol that is clearly young and should improve once baby fat is gone. Long life ahead. 97-98

  March 21, 2023 - Rich, earthy, and incredibly floral, you also find nuances of black, and blue fruits, plums, truffle, and cocoa on the nose The wine is full-bodied, supple, and rich with multiple layers of ripe, opulent, sweet, plums, cherries, blackberries, blueberries, and dark chocolate, all backed up by ripe, tannins, and freshness on the palate. Built to age, and evolve, this is in contention for one of the top vintages of Hosanna ever produced. Drink from 2027-2055.

  August 18, 2021 - 96-98 vvPunkte (75% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 50% Neuholz) Wow, was für eine Nase, zum Eintauchen, ein Mix aus dunklen und roten Beeren, Gewürzen, Mokka, schwarze Schokolade, Lakritze, Kirschen, Veilchen, eine kleine Nasendroge. Im Gaumen strukturiert, mit Opulenz, einer auslandenden, reifen Frucht, diese ist knackig, frisch, dann baut der Wein aus, wird immer vollmundiger, die Gerbstoffe sind von ausgezeichneter Qualität, der Wein hat enorm Kraft und bleibt dennoch top balanciert, zieht sich im Abgang sehr lange hin und endet auf reife, dunkle Beeren und Süssholz. Ein sehr eindrücklicher Pomerol, der wohl zu jedem Zeitpunkt Trinkspass bieten dürfte. 2025-2045 (Mai 2021) vvWine.ch

  May 20, 2021 - Dark in color, the wine is loaded with truffle, flowers, black and blue fruits and spice. Full-bodied with a serious depth of flavor, the wine is rich, supple, silky, long and intense. With the texture of velvet, the perfectly ripe, sweet, plums, cherries, blackberries, blueberries and dark cocoa holds on to your palate for at least 50 seconds. The purity here is just great. Give it a decade in the cellar and this will be a beauty. Clearly, this is the finest vintage of Hosanna ever produced. 97-99
