It's interesting that the tasting notes themselves seem mostly quite positive. The disconnect, I have to assume, comes from having also tasted wines that displayed more of what he expected and didn't find in the bottle under discussion.

The 2010 is brighter, fresher, and generally more fun. I would never turn down a glass of the 2009. I would always take a glass of the 2010 if offered the choice.
