Likes this wine:

Monday, May 21, 2018 - 13% alcohol. Good long dense cork with no more than 1.5cm of wine penetration; the generic print "mise en bouteille à la propriété" is surprisingly minimal, and it strikes me as indicative of the unambitious style of the property at the time. Light colour with a slight orangey tinge at the edge of the rim.
Good evolved nose with leather as well as ripe red berries. The mouth is good too (if on the slight side), with no lack of grip, and very good fresh fruit. The oak is barely perceptible.
Still, this bottle is a relative disappointment, as was the last one. All the elements of a fine wine are there, but not with the intensity that I expect from a grand cru.
On the positive side, the wine is in great condition, and it looks like it will remain so for a good 5 to 10 years; as for improving, I am not so sure.
