Tasting notes
Red-ruby. Smoked meat, caramel, spice and tobacco on the nose, with pepper and herbal nuances emerging with aeration. Moderately dense and sweet, with modest fat but very good intensity of flavor. Still a bit tight today, with the herb and pepper elements carrying through to the firm finish. Will this blossom in bottle?

Gorgeous white chocolate, black currant, sweet cherry, caramel, and spice notes are evolved as well as impressive. One of the vintage’s great success stories, this fleshy, medium to full-bodied, expansive, silky smooth Pomerol will offer delicious drinking now and over the next decade.
Deep ruby-red. Pure aromas of cassis, blackberry and licorice. Nicely dense and supple, with ripe, fine-grained dark fruit flavors and noteworthy volume and baby fat for the year. Quite primary today. Finishes ripe and persistent, with enticing sweetness to the dark berry flavors.
Unusually rich nose for a 2007. Almost New World ripeness on the nose – and very deep colour. Mouthfilling fruit. Almost verging on dried fruit/curranty – most unusual for 2007. The fruit really seems to have ripened well here. Some may want just a tad more acidity…! But it’s certainly impressive. (JR)
About the producer
Château Hosanna is a relatively young wine label in Pomerol, but one with some of the richest heritage in the entire region. It couldn’t be better situated with Château Lafleur to the north, Vieux Château Certan to the south and flanked on either side by Pétrus and Château Lafleur-Pétrus.
