Tuesday, November 5, 2013 - This wine seems to have opened up quite a bit and is drinkable now -- the tannins are undeveloped but are soft enough to make this wine easily enjoyable now. The fruit is very good, though I have come across even more vibrant '08 normales recently -- tasting rhubarb and jammy cranberry, roses and zest. Would have probably liked a less approachable wine at this point. I may have to revise my earlier assessment of cellaring this wine for a long haul -- that role seems to be relegated to the single vineyard crues.
