I have some bottles of wine that I've brought with me from France - mostly Bordeaux. I'm curious to know when these wines will be at their best - can anyone help me out?

I've poked around a bit on the boards here and if I understand correctly, then it's going to depend on the quality of each individual wine as well as the storage of the bottles - is this correct? Anything to add to this?

How would I go about judging the lifetime of my bottles then? I guess I could post a list to a board here, but is there some other resource for checking up on these?

Thanks, Matt

Besides knowing which particular wines and how they've been stored, it would also help to know the vintage. With those three criteria, we could probably give you a fairly good idea on the longevity of your wines. If the list is too long, however, it could become a major research project. You might start yourself by checking the Bordeaux thread and going back a year or so to see if any of your wines show up.
