Same as before, although for sure an overall better bottle this time. More animalistic on the nose, and a more distinct "forest in decay", too. Good tannic mouth grip indicating, it may keep for a few more years easily, I guess.

Slightly maturing colour yet still a bit light. Earthy/tertiary nose with a distinct matureness. On the palate slightly more subdued than the last bottle. A very subtle yet also rustic and solid effort from one of the best Nuit St Georges-producers in my view. Tannins present and took on a potroast and risotto Milanese nicely. Overall, the last few bottles I had were better - I am eager to see what my last two bottles will show.

Coravin preserved this just fine, but like the last time I found this to be merely competent Burgundy, nothing special.

True to producer reputation, this is still a bit hard and tannic. Won't ever be great, but a decent village NSG.

Same as my note on 11/24/2011 - a very good bottle, unfortunate the last. It even did better in my direct comparison with Gouges' 1. cru Les Pruliers.
