This has the wow factor; it's very impressive. The nose is saturated with dark, rich plums and wet-earth aromas, not to mention the roasted-coffee and crushed-violet undertones. The palate has polished, lustrous appeal, and dark plums and ripe blueberry flavors abound. Long, deep-set tannins with incredible depth. This has x-factor depth and elegance. Best from 2025.

A 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. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Interim Issue Mid-February 2018, The Wine Advocate

 The 2015 Hosanna is still a bashful wine at first, only gradually unfurling with blackberry, black truffle, bay leaf and crushed violet. 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. Allelujah! Anticipated maturity: 2023 - 2050. - Feb 2018 

A dense, powerful Pomerol, the 2015 Hosanna hits the palate with a huge center of fruit and layers of flavor that open up effortlessly in the glass. Hosanna is easily the most exotically ripe, flamboyant wine in the Mouiex range. Dense, powerful and also quite structured, with huge tannins, Hosanna is going to need at least a number of years before it is at its best. Hosanna is also one of the darkest and most potent Pomerols readers will taste in 2015. vinous.com, February 2018

Dense, with a muscular feel, though the core of cassis and blackberry paste is very pure. This is inlaid with some hefty roasted apple wood and melted licorice notes, giving way to warm Christmas pudding on the finish, all while maintaining a serious tannic spine.

Tiny Moueix-owned Pomerol estate which produces famously smoky, supple and attractive wines. Surprisingly tight on the nose. Sweet, dense, rich core of ripe strawberry and plum fruit. Great, fleshy mid-palate. Succulent. Modern. (82% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc.)

A Jean-Pierre Moueix wine. 4 ha (10 acres) of gravel and clay. 82% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc.
Mid ruby. Broad and floral on the nose. Good attack though a little moderate in impact. Not a blockbuster! But very gentle and mild. Appetising.
