Growing up in the Western Cape of South Africa, this consignor always had a deep interest in wine, though access to great bottles was limited. Around 2009/2010, he began collecting wine on a modest budget. His collection grew primarily through the LCBO programs, but he also made it a point to bring back a bottle or two of the prestigious Vine de Constance every time he visited South Africa. All his wines are carefully stored in his purpose-built cellar, designed with both temperature and humidity control for optimal preservation.
The rating for 2012 Chateau Hosanna Pomerol is 97 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Close to perfection, this extraordinary blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc seems to have hit all the high notes in 2012. Inky ruby/purple with stunning concentration, a multidimensional mouthfeel, skyscraper-like texture and fabulous purity of blue, red and black fruits, this is a tour de force from this estate owned by Christian Moueix. The potential complexity and sheer compelling quality of Hosanna is amazing. Aromatically, this may be the most profound wine of the vintage. Drink it over the next 15-20 years.
