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. Best from 2025 through 2040.
Tim Atkin
Inky black colour. Spicy rich coffee oak aromas, with plush cassis and damson. Some toast and sweet herbs. Intense and juicy fruit flavours with black cherry and damson. Ripe rounded tannins. Fresh acidity and structure. Mouth-coating velvet feeling, ripe tannins. Fine and manages elegance despite the power. Very good indeed.
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.
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.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
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!
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.
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.
