The Château Hosanna 2014, back after a year's absence, makes up for lost time with a winning tobacco and gravel themed bouquet, plenty of black dusky fruit following behind. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin. It is less exuberant and voluptuous in style compared to recent vintage, but there is more weight and presence than say, the Certan-de-May, with quite long, lightly spiced, structured finish. Perhaps this Hosanna is atypically "serious" in style, but it should offer 15 to 20 years' drinking pleasure. Drink 2018-2034

A wine of magnificent pedigree, the 2014 Hosanna boasts remarkable depth and translucence. Cloves, violets, plums, blueberries and leather are some of the many notes that flesh out. A dollop of Cabernet Franc gives the 2014 much of its aromatic presence. A spine of firm, imposing tannins propels the explosive, captivating finish. I imagine the 2014 will require quite a bit of patience, but it is a special wine, that much is clear.
Focused and tight with chewy tannins and lots of blueberry, blackberry and a wet earth character. Full body and lightly chewy tannins.
From the JP Moueix stable. Dark fruit and cassis notes. Lovely weight and texture. Plentiful but fine tannins. Less overt power and more finesse than some years. But depth and structure all the same. Drink: 2022-2035
With some impressive spice and density of flavour this is an impact wine and even though it is quite raw and unfinished right now it shows some energy and at no stage does the powerful oak dominate the fruit. It will be a fine, elegant style when it settles down and evens out.
Scented and alluring. Some lovely fresh Cabernet Franc aromas and a silky texture. Very winning indeed in a medium register. Lots of refreshment (only just not too much acidity). Will always be relatively light but should offer great pleasure. Drink 2024-2040
This is a little closed and on the oaky side, but it’s not a blockbuster by any means. Grassy and refined with textured, leafy notes, some lead pencil and underlying black fruit flavours. Another stylish wine from the J-P Moueix stable. Drink: 2020-30
Dense, with solid grip, this remains very pure, featuring a polished beam of raspberry and plum fruit coursing along, inlaid with mouthwatering anise, incense and dried blood orange notes. Shows serious depth and length already, but could improve even more during the élevage.
The small sub-region of Pomerol is situated north-east of the industrious city of Libourne. Pomerol's soils are predominately iron-rich clay with a smattering of gravel that produce wines with extraordinary power and depth. As a result of this clay-dominance, it has the highest percentage of Merlot planted in all of Bordeaux. Certain châteaux are produced exclusively from this grape, but most incorporate smaller quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc as well. Despite its hefty (if not exclusive) proportion of Merlot, many people think of wines from this region as separate entities. As one wine aficionado stated recently, "It's not Merlot. It's Pomerol." Despite the region's small size, Pomerol contains some of the world's most sought after (and expensive) wines including Pétrus, Le Pin, Lafleur, l'Evangile and Vieux Château Certan. Unlike other Bordelais subregions, there is no system of classification. The châteaux are traded on reputation alone.
