According to Christophe Sabon, the weak spot for some 2009s is hard tannins. "The grenache got very ripe in '09, as it did in 2007," he explained, "and it was a challenge to maintain finesse and not allow the wines to be overstructured. In 2010, by contrast, if you had to use only one word to describe the vintage it would be 'balance' or maybe 'freshness.' Everything fell into place leading up to harvest and it will be a year where the wines will probably never really shut down."
