aging bordeaux

[Innkeeper]

I have one 2000 Bordeaux that is in the rack for six months. We soon be taking possession of six 2000 Chateau Lagrange that won't be opened prior to 2010. You have to find out from your retailer how long each should be aged. As a very, very broad rule of thumb, if you paid less than $15, it is an early drinker. If it cost more, and you have a good idea that it was well crafted, it should be aged at least ten years. Talking about 2000 here, it varys depending on the quality of the vintage.
