品酒筆記：
(Allen Meadows' rating: 89-92 points)
水果絕對熟透了，中等飽滿的酒體更加深了這種印象。具有良好的「肌肉」及出色的中等密度，這些全都包含在口感豐富、認真而樸實的餘韻中。Grasses Têtes甚少在它年輕時飲用，這年份亦不例外。 (建議在2030+飲用)

Tasting Notes:
(Allen Meadows' rating: 89-92 points)
This too is reduced though less so and it seems clear that the fruit is definitely ripe. That impression is enhanced by the lush if backward medium weight flavors that possess good muscle and excellent mid-palate density, all wrapped in a chewy, serious, austere and built-to-age finish. Wines from Grasses Têtes rarely drink well young and this particular version will also be no exception. (Drink: 2030+)
