97-99/100 Robert Parker
“The 2017 Mouton Rothschild has one of the highest percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon ever at 90%, with 9% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. Very deep purple-black in color, the nose is already singing of crushed black currants, warm blackberries and chocolate-covered cherries with hints of violets, star anise, cinnamon stick and cloves plus wafts of pencil lead and unsmoked cigars. Medium-bodied, wonderfully delicate yet intense in the mouth (gaining some richness in the mid-palate on my second taste two and a half weeks later), it has super fine-grained, smooth tannins and incredible freshness, finishing very long with tons of tightly wound layers. Wow. This vintage is going to be very long-lived in the cellar!”

98/100 James Suckling
“Extremely perfumed Mouton with currants and crushed berries. Hints of roses and other flowers. Tight and extremely refined with ultra-fine tannins and cool yet rich currant character. The center palate offers sweet cherries and hints of oak. Lightly sweet and sour. Fresh, balsamic note. It firms up at the end.”

98/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
“Nearly purple in color, this is full bodied and intense. There is a strong sensation of crushed stone, exotic spices, licorice and barbecue smoke swirling about the dusky red fruits as they coat your palate. Powerful and sensuous with a magnificent wholesomeness of fruit, the wine nimbly builds to a boundless finish, which clocks in at close to 60 seconds!”

97-98/100 Vert de Vin Magazine
“The nose is aromatic, elegant, fine, complex and offers a beautiful finesse as well as richness / concentration. It reveals notes of ripe wild strawberry, ripe raspberry and small notes of violet associated with fine touches of very ripe blueberry as well as hints of caramelization, Cuben pepper and a very discreet hint of racy minerality. The mouth is fresh, fruity, beautifully elegant and offers finesse of the fat, a fine unctuosity, roundness, freshness, a fine acidulous frame as well as a slight aerial side. On the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy raspberry, juicy/fleshy strawberry and small notes of blackberry associated with fine hints of caramelization, red berries, chocolate, zan as well as a very discreet hint of toasted hazelnut. A very discreet hint of salinity / saline minerality on the finish / back of the mouth. Good length and persistence on notes of cocoa and caramelization.”

97/100 Wine Spectator
“A brick house Cabernet, featuring a thick sheath of warm ganache and smoldering tobacco over a core of well-steeped black currant, black fig and blackberry compote flavors. Cuts a wide and deep trench as it moves along, with loamy, tannic grip for ballast. Retains a well-buried inner purity that should blossom as this mellows in the cellar. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.”
