Jean-Louis Trapet harvested quite late in 2009. "The challenge was to have phenolic maturity, not just good sugar ripeness," he maintained. "Of course the risk was that we could have lost acidity. But organic farming seems to preserve tension even in wines with higher pHs. The fruits in 2009 are more red than black." A significant percentage of whole-cluster vinification (about one-third in most wines, but 60% in the Capita) contributed further energy to the wines. Trapet believes that the tannins in the 2009s are suppler than those of 1990. He describes the new vintage as "a bit like 1989, but more complex." The malos here were early, finishing between January and March, as a result of which the wines were quite expressive in November.
