Monday, January 31, 2011 - Tasted one day after trying the cracking good '06 (see TN). High-toned kirsch on the nose, with nuances of blood orange, spices, and freshly chopped herbs, framed by tangy acidity. Moderately long, iron/mineral-driven finish. Increasingly complex with air. The palate seems a tad leaner and tarter than the '06, and not as meaty/savory -- perhaps simply because it's a year younger? Another impressive effort, which at this early stage I would peg as just a touch less special than the '06.
