Thursday, October 29, 2015 - Annual Comparative Bordeaux Tasting (2000/2005) (Chicago, IL): This is a miserable failure for such an esteemed estate. A bit of cherry cough syrup on the nose. That's about it. The palate is watery and thin, and while the other 2005s tonight weren't showing too much, it was clear they had stuffing. This one is a paper tiger. There's nothing here for the long haul. It's already dried out, and you're left with a husk of acid and tannin. A waste of a good vintage.

What a shame! I will not give up on the Chateau though, seeing as this is their only vintage I've tasted!!
