Score 92/100 · Robert Parker, Aug 2014

The successful 2003 Hosanna has turned out to be a sexy, opulent, medium to full-bodied wine offering loads of berry fruit, licorice and truffle characteristics. There is no trace of dry tannins or underripeness in this beauty. It once again proves that Christian Moueix is a genius in culling out the finest fruit from this estate, which was once known as Certan Giraud. This 2003 should be drunk over the next 4-5 years.

Full medium red. Sexy nose offers red raspberry, mocha, truffle and toffee. Sweet, dense and lush in the mouthy, with nicely concentrated flavors of red fruits, caramel and toasty oak. Finishes with sweet tannins and noteworthy persistence. A very successful effort for 2003: today I find every bit as much energy and primary red fruit character here as in the 2003 Trotanoy.

Very deep lively crimson. Lowkey nose though an undertow of meaty savour. Quite shy. Lots of ripe fruit though not that much structure. Almost rudely ripe in fact but a bit soft. (JR)
