A real powerhouse of a Pomerol, the 2018 Château Hosanna checks in as a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, all from a tiny, 11-acre parcel of blue clay and more red, gravelly soils in the heart of the appellation. This site has good neighbors, with Vieux Château Certan (and Certan de May) to the south, Lafleur just to the north, Petrus to the east, and La Fleur-Petrus to the west. Gorgeous blackcurrants, plum, chocolate, scorched earth, tobacco leaf, and graphite are just some of the nuances here, and this beauty is full-bodied, has a wonderfully textured, opulent mouthfeel, silky tannins, and one heavenly finish. It's up with the crème de la crème of the vintage, and that includes both banks. This straight-up stunning Pomerol will be drinkable with just 4-5 years of bottle age yet cruise for 30-40 years! Rating: 99+

An intense, juicy red with lots of meat, berry, chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. Pure fruit. It’s full-bodied and dense with lots of fine tannins and richness. So powerful and long. Super length. Very muscular, yet agile at the same time. Try after 2025.

The 2018 Hosanna is composed of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose needs a bit of swirling and coaxing before it soars from the glass with compelling blue and black fruit scents of blueberry pie, blackberry preserves and stewed plums, plus hints of spice cake, unsmoked cigars and violets with a touch of cloves. The full-bodied palate shimmers with opulence, laden with black fruit preserves layers, supported by seductively plush tannin's and seamless freshness, finishing long and oh-so-spicy. It is very tempting to drink now, but 3-5 years of patience will offer a little cerebral tertiary contribution to all that decadent fruit. It should easily cellar for 25 years thereafter. Rating : 96+

This small property has produced a surprisingly restrained, stylish wine for its great richness. Ripe tannins showcase the black-currant fruits, with the perfumed Cabernet Franc balanced by dense Merlot in a harmonious whole. This is a wine to age. Drink from 2027.

A big, muscular, powerful, classic, rich Pomerol; this can take the alcohol in its stride. Expect plenty of coffee, tobacco leaf, cigar and chocolate along with a slice of damson purée and black cherry. Serious, with a ton of years ahead of it. Drinking Window 2026 - 2044

This shows bay and tobacco leaf notes along the edges of a core of steeped plum and blackberry fruit. It all melds together through the finish, ending with an echo of warm earth. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2035.
