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.

Good now but does not seem like a wine that will hold up for a long time. Drinking well now. Never tried the 1998. I still have a fair amount of 1995 and 1996 in the cellar that are drinking well. I have 2 mags of 1982 that I will be opening soon and a couple cases of 2000. I always enjoyed the wine. |
