17615 Views
Seemingly young, with strong notes of licorice, espresso, smoke and truffle to fill the air. Concentrated, full bodied and layered with ripe, sweet, dark plum and cherry notes, give this a few more years before you start popping corks. 2,969 Views Tasted Sep 17, 2018Full bodied, lush, round and plummy, with an earthy, floral, black cherry, truffle and espresso nose, the wine feels great on your palate. Not quite there, you can give this wine more time as it has the structure to age nicely. 5,962 Views Tasted May 4, 2016Popped and poured, plum, chocolate, truffle and black raspberry aromatics took little effort to find. Full bodied, rich, plush and easy to taste, this is a very nice style of Pomerol. However, a few more years of age are going to add a lot of complexity and softness in texture. 3,711 Views Tasted Nov 30, 2013Deeply colored, almost inky, the wine feels like pure polished silk as it flows over your palate. Rich, opulent, and decadent in style, this ripe wine is pure velvet with a lot of intensity. The extremely long finish coats every nook and cranny of your mouth. 4,973 Views Tasted Jul 30, 2009 |
When to Drink Chateau Hosanna, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Hosanna is much better with at least 8-12 years of aging in good vintages when it is ready to be enjoyed. Young vintages can be decanted for 2-3 hours or more.
This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau Hosanna offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 10-30 years of age after the vintage.
