Default 1998 Ducru Becaillou for father's day

Decided to open for Father's day, double decanted, with grilled steak, potatoes and green beans (all perfect barbecue food for me). Slight funk in the nose, resolved to cedar, cocoa, and dark fruit. Remarkably light for 15 year-old Bordeaux. Tannins almost completely resolved. Nice complexity with good finish. Good now but does not seem like a wine that will hold up for a long time. Drinking well now.
