Lisa Perrotti-Brown: The 2017 Mouton Rothschild has one of thehighest percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon ever at 90%, with 9%Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. Very deep purple-black in color, thenose is already singing of crushed black currants, warmblackberries and chocolate-covered cherries with hints of violets,star anise, cinnamon stick and cloves plus wafts of pencil lead andunsmoked cigars. Medium-bodied, wonderfully delicate yet intense inthe mouth (gaining some richness in the mid-palate on my secondtaste two and a half weeks later), it has super fine-grained,smooth tannins and incredible freshness, finishing very long withtons of tightly wound layers. Wow. This vintage is going to be verylong-lived in the cellar!
