Salil,
Maybe it was just me or the wines on show, but I was not hugely impressed by the 2008s being shown at the Theise/Skurnik event a couple of weeks ago. To overgeneralize, they were light and prettily styled, but not possessed of the same extract as the 2007s. I would guess that the acidities come off as being higher because the wines lack some of 2007's richness. It may be that as a vintage it is more in line with your stylistic preferences, but to me it was a clear step down (again, speaking generally).
