Thursday, October 29, 2015 - Annual Comparative Bordeaux Tasting (2000/2005) (Chicago, IL): Very, very soft. Not shapeless, but definitely on that path. A little bit of leather, and fruit that seems a little overripe. This didn't have the same freshness as many of the 2000s, and although there's ample acidity, there's not quite enough to overcome that slightly sickly overripe fruit character. I'm a bit surprised at how advanced this seems.
