Château Hosanna Pomerol Bordeaux France 2011

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate | 93 points 
Now one of my favorite Pomerols, the 2011 Hosanna does not have the power of that vintage, it exhibits complex forest floor, floral, black raspberry and black cherry notes. A savory, broad opulence as well as a medium to full-bodied appeal, silky and smooth.

A red with plum and milk-chocolate character, plus hints of hazelnut. Medium to full body with firm tannins anda fruity finish. Subtle and firm. Stylish cocoa, berry and mineral undertones.

Sports a briary edge, with an ample core of red currant and raspberry fruit, studded with anise, apple wood and incense notes. Still backward today, with the grip winning out, but all the pieces are in place. This should be a more classic, restrained version when it settles in fully. (3/2014)

Bright, deep ruby-red. Highly perfumed aromas of sour red cherry, redcurrant, licorice, iron and minerals. Tightly coiled, cool and reserved in the typical youthful Hosanna way, showing a restrained sweetness and obvious class. The very long finish is quite tannic but not hard, featuring excellent grip and subtle violet and mineral nuances.
