Black fruit, more like a modern napa cab than a banyuls--no earthiness or tang

2002 vintage on 24.12.18 Perhaps it suffered from the 97 vintage port that came with the cheese but to my liking it was rather one dimensional. Too much sweetness from black cherries. Lacking some bite or acid. It came with a perfect chocolate tart.

2002 vintage
Шоколад, сливовый пирог, инжир, переспелая ежевика, варенье из грецких орехов, темная виноградная шкурка с косточкой. Сладко, танинно, концентрированно. Не слишком комплексно, но крепко сбито и уверенно.
