Hi SusieQ!

Another welcome to the wineboard!

That is a really, really beautiful bottle of wine you have. Someone really likes you!

Sure, you can hold on to it for a little while. I don't have a humidity controlled environment other than air conditioning and my wines are fine.

When you have a special occasion please make sure you give that wine at least 1 hour to open up before you consume it.

Here is what Spectator said and they gave it a rating of 95!

Lovely, subtle yet complex aromas of currants, sage and green olives lead to a full-bodied red with a solid core of fruit and well-integrated tannins. Still very reserved on the finish, but those who are patient should be rewarded. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best after 2005. 13,000 cases made. (JS)

You are going to want a big, fleshy steak with this wine. Anything light you will lose the food!

Enjoy!
