  James Suckling
  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. Solid. A blend of 90% cabernet sauvignon, 9% merlot and 1% petit verdot. Try after 2025."

  Weinwisser
  WEINWISSER:"Dichtes Granat mit rubinrotem Rand. Ein royaler Pauillac mit dunklem Ebenholz, duftiger Baumnuss und weissem Nepalpfeffer. Im zweiten Ansatz schwarze Johannisbeeren und heller Tabak, dahinter schwarze Olivenpaste sowie mit Zitronenmelisse dicht verwoben, der Wein legt von Minute zu Minute zu. Am erhabenen Gaumen mit butterweicher Textur und bereits abgerundeten, reifen Tanninen. Im königlichen Finale zeigt der Charmeur sein Lagerpotenzial und endet im sehr langen Rückaroma mit Sandelholz, dunklem Edelkakao und Wildkirschen. Man hält unwillkürlich inne und geniesst diesen perfekten Moment – Halleluja!"

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  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! The blend comes from 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, reaching 13.1% alcohol with a pH of 3.75. The harvest took place from September 7 to September 29 and the Grand Vin represents 51% of the harvest."

  Wine Spectator
  WINESPECTATOR:"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. Best from 2025 through 2040."

  The Wine Advocate
  THE WINEADVOCATE:"The 2017 Mouton Rothschild is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it slowly unfurls to reveal notes of warm black plums, baked black cherries, kirsch and freshly crushed blackcurrants with hints of candied violets, cinnamon toast, Ceylon tea and pencil shavings. Medium-bodied, the palate is charged with amazing energy, featuring dynamic black and red fruits and loads of baking spice and mineral sparks, framed by ripe, fine-grained tannins and finishing long and fragrant. Given the intensity of fruit and structure, while this is a relatively elegant Mouton that will be approachable early on, I don’t see it as being short lived. It should give pleasure for a good 40+ years."

  Decanter
  DECANTER:"Graphite, black chocolate, pencil lead, blackberry and liquorice. This is serious, not holding back on its confident sense of power and depth. 100% new oak coming through as toasted grilled almond aromatics, this has no issue with settling in for the long term and will deliver over the next two to three decades. Easy to love."

  Jeb Dunnuck
  JEB DUNNUCK:"The top 2017 Chateau Mouton Rothschild checks in as 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot that spent 18 months in new barrels. This rock star of a wine offers stunning notes of chocolately blackcurrants, toasted spice, and espresso roast, as well as loads of classic Pauillac lead pencil shavings and graphite nuances. It's another wine that starts out slowly yet builds incrementally on the palate with full-bodied richness, ripe, polished tannin, no hard edges, and a stunning sense of purity and elegance. Give bottles upwards of a decade and it will evolve for 30 years or more."

  Wine Enthusiast
  WINE ENTHUSIAST:"The hint of new wood still shows in the aroma of this wine. But on the palate, it has the richness and exuberance that comes with this great estate. Tannins show structure and intensity, bringing out the bold black fruits. Packed with freshness as well as structure, the wine will age well. Drink from 2024. "

  FALSTAFF:"Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung, dezente Edelholzwürze, Nuancen von Herzkirschen, ein Hauch von Kräutern, zart nach Nougat. Mittlere Kompexität, feine Waldbeernuancen, gut integrierte Tannine, zarter Cassistouch, mineralisch-salzig im Abgang, ein balancierter Speisenbegleiter."

  JANCIS ROBINSON:"90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot, harvested 7–29 September. Healthy, glowing deep crimson with soft cherry rim. Rocky/smoky cassis lift to the aroma. Fragrant with sober and non-exotic fruit. Serious. Super-fine texture, appears gentle but is very persistent, so fresh and effortless and yet intense and long. Refined and accessible but long term too."
