Here is the real quality: a structured and quite masculine Hosanna, albeit with genuine complexity, allspice and clove intermixed with dusky black fruit and freshly cracked black pepper. It finishes with a sense of confidence and style. Hopefully the aromatics can improve during bottle age; I strongly suspect that they will. \u003cstrong\u003eRP93\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/9728\/2020\/files\/hosanna_banner_02_490x735_8366afb8-4599-4d0f-9a76-a061330b1570.jpg?v=1784895302\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vin et Saké Nature","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49500886270180,"sku":"F06310159AAK2014","price":1950.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/9728\/2020\/files\/hosanna_2014_mg_02_735x735_3ec169a8-be3a-4bf9-8ddd-2e21ed6135d1.jpg?v=1784961300"},{"product_id":"6688-ch-hosanna-pomerol-2015-1500ml-owc1","title":"[6688] CH.HOSANNA POMEROL 2015 1500ml [OWC1]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/9728\/2020\/files\/hosanna_map_01_400x735_87436c70-d80a-4aa0-976b-cdebfbd7ca01.jpg?v=1784895547\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChâteau Hosanna, a jewel-like vineyard of just 4.5 hectares, is located in the heart of Pomerol’s central plateau, adjacent to some of the most illustrious crus of the appellation: Château Lafleur to the north, Château Pétrus to the east, Château La Fleur-Pétrus to the west, and Vieux Château Certan to the south.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard enjoys a terroir of red gravel and clay on crasse de fer, which is known for producing wines of great elegance, complexity, and power.

This is clearly keeping everything back for later. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannin, perfectly pitched acidity, very focused and harmonious with a deeply impressive, pure, mineral-rich finish that is one of the best I have encountered for this cru. This is going to be a seriously impressive Hosanna.

Now Hosanna is usually quite exuberant on the nose at this early stage, however, this is a very different Hosanna - much more reserved and introverted, yet still complex with a melange of black fruit, undergrowth, truffle and brine aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, plenty of truffle-tinged fruit, a lovely spicy edge and a persuasive peacock's tail finish that lingers long in the mouth while maintaining wonderful freshness. This is an outstanding Hosanna from the JP Moueix team, perhaps the first vintage to really convince me of its greatness since its debut. \u003cstrong\u003eRP95-97\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA blend of 82% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Hosanna had a medium garnet-purple color, charging out of the glass with an exotic perfume of smoked meats, truffles, sandalwood and Indian spices over a compelling core of cherry cordial, blackberry tart and blueberry compote plus suggestions of garrigue and rose hip tea. The full-bodied palate is absolutely laden with taut, muscular black and blue fruits, with a solid frame of grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with languidly lingering licorice and spice flavors. Incredibly seductive and just plain delicious right now, hedonists can enjoy this captivating wine while it’s relatively young, while traditionalists can wait ten years and drink it over the next 25 years or more. \u003cstrong\u003eRP97\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/9728\/2020\/files\/hosanna_banner_01_490x735_21e86036-7042-4d20-86f0-3a21c40b7f84.jpg?v=1784961758\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vin et Saké Nature","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49500925133028,"sku":"F06310159AAK2015","price":2280.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/9728\/2020\/files\/hosanna_2015_mg_02_735x735_e6104ddb-7072-4bee-8cab-31764dccce63.jpg?v=1784961550"},{"product_id":"4350-ch-hosanna-pomerol-2016-1500ml-owc1","title":"[4350] CH.HOSANNA POMEROL 2016 1500ml [OWC1]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/9728\/2020\/files\/hosanna_map_01_400x735_87436c70-d80a-4aa0-976b-cdebfbd7ca01.jpg?v=1784895547\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChâteau Hosanna, a jewel-like vineyard of just 4.5 hectares, is located in the heart of Pomerol’s central plateau, adjacent to some of the most illustrious crus of the appellation: Château Lafleur to the north, Château Pétrus to the east, Château La Fleur-Pétrus to the west, and Vieux Château Certan to the south.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard enjoys a terroir of red gravel and clay on crasse de fer, which is known for producing wines of great elegance, complexity, and power.

The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, a masculine Hosanna with fine tension, a little savory with black truffle and white pepper sprinkled liberally over the finish. I would have liked more flesh to show on the finish, although that should develop to an extent during its barrel maturation.
