  Not much has changed since the last bottle - opinion from the previous note here stands.

  So much better than the last TN from 2 years ago. Structured, Burgundian Côte de Nuit profile - concentrated dark red fruit, good weight, dusty tannins, balanced acidity, and some sous bois. Super value at $18.95 CAD.

  Decanted for 1.5 hours before service. Was not expecting much from this wine and was very pleasantly surprised with the results. I can imagine it would be excellent with lamb cooked in a Greek style.
  
  The tasting notes from Penguinoid are spot on and this vintage should be consumed now.

Acidity still lively, fresh, berry-like. Light to medium bodied, 13,5% alcohol. Lovely, fully mature - drink now.
