Description
Lisa Perrotti-Brown: 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!
