  This will be a magnificent wine. Its structure, acidity and richness all show considerable potential. A crisp edge contrasts with the concentration and density that comes from the swaths of fruit. Wood aging has opened out the tanginess of a wine that will age over many years. Drink from 2024."

  This is extremely aromatic and perfumed with crushed-berry, flower, currant and orange-peel character. Full-bodied, very tight and focused with fabulous depth and density that brings you down through the wine. Deep and serious. Very classic wine that reminds me of top Haut-Brions of the mid-1980s. Try after 2025."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  Ripe tannins and volume in all the right places, this wine tempts with verve and depth of flavor, length and complexity and gets up close and personal with the tannins. And in my overeducated and sometimes pompous opinion, the wine is going to require a minimum of 12-15 years of aging before it becomes civilized enough to drink. A blend of 53% Merlot, 40.7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4.4% Cabernet Franc with a the harvest taking place August 31 to September 29, the wine reached 14.25% alcohol with a pH of 3.73 and represents 45% of the Grand Vin."

  53 % Merlot, 40,7 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 6,3 % Cabernet Franc. Dichtes Granatrubin mit violettem Rand. Komplexes, tiefes Bouquet mit Anklängen an Leder, roten Johannisbeeren und Himbeeren. Im zweiten Ansatz verführerische Nuancen von Veilchen, Darjeeling und Mokka. Am Gaumen ein Traum aus seidiger Textur und perfekt stützenden Tanninen, feinspröder Extrakt, trotzdem fesselnd und ergreifend. Im langen Finale eine Symphonie aus Wildkirschen, Palisandernoten und Graphit. Ein ganz grosser, klassischer Haut-Brion, dem der Jahrgang sprichwörtlich in die Hände spielt und diesmal ganz knapp hinter Les Carmes Haut-Brion auf Platz 2 in Pessac kommt. Tendenz steigend, da ist noch mehr Musik drin."

  The Wine Advocate
  A blend of 53% Merlot, 6.3% Cabernet Franc and 40.7% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Haut-Brion sashays gracefully out of the glass with fragrant notions of black raspberries, kirsch, dark chocolate, star anise and candied violets with a core of warm red and black currants and a touch of pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, the palate bursts with red and black fruit layers, superbly supported by firm, ripe, finely grained tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing very long and mineral laced."

  Wine Spectator
  Features red and black currant fruit flavors, laced with bramble, apple wood and anise notes, backed by a powerfully rendered finish. Despite the heft and density, this comes off as refined, with streamlined tannins, buried acidity and a long finish of incense and red tea elements. Not as dense and backward as the top years, but still exhibits pedigree. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2024 through 2040."
