I have been given two wines and would like advice on how good they are and how long to store them.
Wine 1: Jim Barry Armagh 1999
Wine 2: Giaconda Chardonay 2001

I'd say to drink them before they get any older.

I'd say drink the Chardonnay now. The Armagh is great now but should do fine for a few more years. I wouldn't hold this past 2015; but would probably drink in 2009 or 10.

Thanks for the replies - however, the two replies leave me in a bit of a quandry. Do I drink the Jim Barry now or store for a few more years? Has anyone else got advice?

If you have good storage, hold it at least a little longer.

Agree.
