Follow-up on second night: well structured, bright and abundant acidity, edgier than '09, a cooler vintage perhaps. I think it might have had a good aging potential.

A case of mistaken identity: I had intended to start plundering the bounty of '09s, but instead grabbed this from the very much smaller collection of '10s (the year of the migrating birds). One year more youthful. Bright ruby red, seductive floral aroma, forward tart red cherry, bracing, a bit simple and fades more quickly than one would like. Not an upper echelon wine, but pretty. Maybe wish I had kept it a bit longer.
