So aromatic and fresh with black olives, black truffles, gravel and dried flowers. Milk chocolate. Ovaltine. Full-bodied with fantastic old-vine tannins. Layered and very structured. Goes deep and down. One for the cellar. Superb. Maybe the best ever. 80% merlot and the rest cabernet franc. Needs ten years here.
A big, explosive beast of a wine, the 2020 Château Hosanna comes from a small 11-acre vineyard of gravelly, clay soils and it's 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Decadent red and black fruits, smoked tobacco, loamy earth, chocolate, and some meaty, iron-like nuances all emerge on the nose, and this round, full-bodied, expansive Pomerol has a great mid-palate, ripe tannins, and a blockbuster of a finish. It's one of the more opulent, overtly sexy wines of the vintage, and this beauty is going to offer incredible pleasure over the coming 25-30 years.
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.
A blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc the 2020 Hosanna has a deep garnet-purple color. It requires a swirl or two before it erupts with powerful scents of plum preserves black raspberries and fruitcake giving way to hints of lilacs bay leaves and wet slate. The full-bodied palate is densely laden with expressive black and blue fruits supported by velvety tannins and balancing freshness finishing long fragrant and beautifully poised.
Andreas Larsson:
It shows a very refined perfume, floral with violet notes, raspberry, blackberry, fine spices and a mild hint of oak, almost a Burgundian feel to it especially on the palate being dense and voluminous yet so supple and fluid, excellent drinkability despite its sheer youth, magnificent balance and length, should improve a lot but one of the most complete young wines amongst all of the 2020:s.
