Robert Parker's Wine Advocate describes it as "wafting from the glass with a deep and complex bouquet of dark wild berries, cassis, wilted rose petals, blood orange, exotic spices, licorice and coniferous forest floor." The Advocate highlights its full-bodied and satiny texture, noting that it is “pristinely balanced” and capable of rewarding extended bottle aging despite its youthful appeal. This review scored the wine a near-perfect 98 points.

Decanter echoes this high praise, also awarding the wine 98 points. According to Decanter, the wine has "gained in weight and intensity" since it was first tasted from the barrel in 2018. They remark on its "innate grace" and compare it to a "string quartet rather than a full orchestra." The palate is described as "layered, refined and savoury," with a finish that is "clean, bright and refreshing" and holds the promise of greater things to come.

Burghound offers a slightly more reserved but still stellar review, scoring it 97 points. The review notes the wine's "evident restraint" and "kaleidoscopically broad-ranging nose." The critic highlights the "wonderfully pure and fresh and spicy aromas" and describes the finish as "impressively persistent" and "Zen-like in its sense of harmony and focus."

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy provides an almost perfect score of 99 points, describing the color as a "gorgeous imperial purple" and the wine as "sublime in the attack, deep roses here as well as the most sumptuous fruit." Morris lauds the wine’s "magical silky texture" and concludes that it is "all about the palate which is as regal as ever."

In summary, the 2017 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée-Conti is a masterful Pinot Noir that has garnered exceptional reviews for its complex bouquet, balanced structure, and potential for aging.
