Peaches, floral notes, bell pepper. Full bodied, high acid, long finish and serious. — 8 years ago
Yes yes yes. I know I’m like a kid with a cup of hit chocolate, but I just love sweet wines. Hints of citrus. But if acid balances the sweetness really well. Paired best with bold blue cheese than more gentle flavors. — 8 years ago

Well located situated between Lafleur and Petrus hence the name. A little bit of history - Pomerol was originally planted by the Romans but fell into disrepair and neglect until the 17th and 18th Century. The total area of Pomerol is only 800 hectares. This wine is plummy and very earthy and so enjoyable. My notes said “This is why one loves Pomerol “. — 8 years ago

Recently enjoyed a trio of St Julien Bordeaux from Château Talbot (1961, 1990, and 2005) as well as one from Pomerol, a 2005 Hospitalet de Gazin. — 9 years ago

At the Pomerol Dinner we then had 3 vintages of Chateau Hosanna starting with the 1999. 70% Merlot 30% Cabernet Franc. Only 4.5 hectares with some famous neighbours - Lafleur to the north; Petrus to the east; La Fleur-Petrus to the west; and Vieux Chateau Certan to the south. This 1999 was the first vintage made under the Hosanna name. Earthy with a touch of wet nappy. On the palate plump and round with supple tannins. — 8 years ago
Paired with '93 Ch. Gazin over prime rib Christmas dinner (Both vintages from kid's birthyears). Both showed well (kids and the wines). Soft and supple with nice ripe cherry fruit. Elegant, balanced, with perfect texture. Drink now over next 10 years. — 8 years ago
Had a magnum for a dinner party. Needed some time to open but when it did, it was really nice. — 9 years ago
Really good wine, full of flavor and melting in your mouth! 😋 Maybe better for a meat dish than sweet Italian Nutella night! 😉 — 11 years ago
Wow a special wine that met our expectations. — 11 years ago
