  Weinwisser
  Ein sehr klassischer Mouton mit der typischen Pauillac-Nase mit den erdigen-graphitigen Noten, Lakritz, Cassis, Zedernwürze und Veilchen sowie einem Anflug des unnachahmlichen Pferdesattel- Liebstöckel-Mix. Im Mund wunderbar cremig mit sinnlicher Mouton-Aromatik, noch sehr frisch und präsent, herrliche Terroirnoten mit Liebstöckel und Kräuterwürze."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  Spicy cassis, incense, cedar chest, tobacco and smoke aromas, medium body and a light, black raspberry and spice filled finish are found in this wine. This is showing well today. However, it is not a vintage of Mouton Rothschild I’d hold for further aging."

  Decanter
  A medium-bodied, lighter style of Mouton. Paler in colour, this has a cool, leafy, slightly herbal character with some cooked fruit on the nose. Fresh, black and raspberry characters on the palate. Lacking a bit of concentration, this is at its best now, and finishes a bit short. Harvested 11 September to 30 September. 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot. 55% of production used for the Grand Vin. Drinking Window 2021 - 2021"

  The Wine Advocate
  Only 55% of the harvest was utilized for the 1997 Mouton-Rothschild. One of the most forward and developed Moutons over recent years, it possesses all the charm and fleshiness this vintage can provide. A blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, the wine exhibits a dense ruby/purple color, and an open-knit nose of cedar wood, blackberry liqueur, cassis, and coffee. Fleshy, ripe, and mouth-filling, with low acidity, soft tannin, and admirable concentration and length, this delicious Pauillac will be drinkable in 2-3 years, and should age for 15+. It is an impressive effort for this vintage."
