Hi all,

I'm new to fine wines as well as this forum...but I thought I'd jump right in and say hello and also ask a question. I recently won two bottles of wine at a charity auction. They are 1978 and 1979 vintages. Aside from the Chateau named above it also says Pauillac on the label. I assume this is French Bordeaux from the vineyard that borders Lafite. What I don't know is if the wines are past peak, were considered  good vintage years and the approximate value today.

 

I would like to know these things prior to tasting them. Hopefully they were stored correctly. Thanks for any input on my wines.

Bob
