Sweet and mono dimensional at this point. Infanticide. Why do this?

1997 vintage. Like a tawny port on the nose. Lots of wood, walnut, dried fruits and dark fruits. On the palate, more vintage port like. Chocolate, herbs, floral and plummy. Not as full bodied as I was expecting. The sweetness level is medium sweet for me, as the acidity keeps this very light and airy. The tannins are ripe and integrated. It's not exactly my favourite Quintarelli, but it's still excellent.
