Opaque almost impenetrable purple-ruby. Closed nose hints at ripe dark plum cassis violet coffee minerals and ink. Opulent flavors of blackcurrant minerals and herbs are pure and clean with harmonious acidity lifting and extending them on the very long rich suave finish. This wine has improved considerably since the Primeurs. In fact this is even more true of the 2010 which makes me think that Mouton may now require extra patience and leeway when it's tasted during the spring following the harvest. Another stellar wine for this property.
vWine Enthusiast: 96-98 Points
he wine develops slowly on the palate gradually revealing its powerful tannins and solid structure. It has the classic black currant fruitiness of Cabernet Sauvignon to match the robust lasting tannins. This impressive wine will develop slowly with great power.
Wine Advocate: 96+ Points
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.
