Chateau Hosanna 2023

JAMES SUCKLING: "Wow. This is really structured and sizzling with dark fruit, such as blackberries and blueberries. Salty, racy aftertaste. The tannins are energetic and so long, driving the wine through an almost endless finish. Lots of old vines used for this. 74% merlot and 26% cabernet franc."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Attraktive Kirschfrucht, zart nach Lakritze und Brombeeren, zart nach Gewürznelken, kandierte Orangenzesten, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, elegant, feine Süße, ein Hauch von Vanille und Karamell, runde Tannine, seidiger Stil, wird etwas früher zugänglich sein, vielversprechender Speisenwein ohne Ecken und Kanten."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Rich and gourmand, the 2023 Hosanna wafts from the glass with aromas of ripe berries, baked red fruits and cherries, framed by hints of fresh mint and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's a rich, textural wine with a ripe core of slightly liqueured fruit, supple tannins and a long, vanillin-inflected finish."
