Tasting Notes

Intense, concentrated, very different in character form many in the vintage in Pomerol; this delivers palma violets, a touch chalky, intense liquorice drops, umami texture here, impressive, velvety, drawn out, good quality with vintage signature without being heavy. 4.5ha, harvest September 5 to 19.

The 2022 Hosanna has a plush, ripe, outgoing bouquet with copious blackberry and blueberry fruit aromas unfurling in the glass, perhaps dispensing with some delineation. However, there is certainly purity of fruit in situ. The palate is more refined, controlled and blessed by a silky-smooth texture with touches of dark chocolate-infused black fruit and mocha manifesting toward the finish. It resembles the Hosanna's of the early noughties in some ways, though it should age well in bottle.

The 2022 Hosanna is gorgeous, perhaps a bit more stern than it can be, but nevertheless compelling. Beams of tannin give the 2022 its lifted, statuesque feel. Dark blue fruits, espresso, incense, licorice, lavender and dried herbs saturate the palate. As always, Hosanna is a dramatic Pomerol and yet the 2022 is not as bombastic as it can be. The 2022 was done with no punchdowns or pumpovers, just a gentle rinsing of the cap, at lower temperatures than normal. That approach paid off big time.

The 2022 Château Hosanna comes from iron-rich, blue clay soils and is 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc that was harvest between the 5th and 19th of September. It has a perfumed, lifted, floral bouquet of blue fruits, candied violets, orange blossom, and spice. This carries to a full-bodied, rich, concentrated, firm Hosanna with plenty of tannins, good mid-palate depth, and outstanding length. I don't see this matching the truly great vintages from this château, but it's clearly an impressive Pomerol.

Offering up aromas of blackberries, minty blackcurrants, licorice and spices, the 2022 Hosanna is full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a broad, velvety attack that segues into a layered, fleshy mid-palate of ripe but lively fruit that's framed by polished tannins. This is always one of the more extravagant wines in the Mouiex portfolio, but in 2022 its exuberance remains in check.

Score: 93 - 95 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Date: 28 April 2023

Wow. This is an incredibly structured Hosanna with tannin tension and density, yet resilience and verve. Full and dense while being weightless and bright at the end. Thought-provoking contrasts. Old vine magic. One for the cellar. 74% merlot and 26% cabernet franc.
