I don't know this wine, but this is not a classified growth, and this
is an early maturing vintage. Probably best to drink up now.

I had two classified 99 wines from St.Julian (commune of Bordeaux) last
week. The Lagrange seemed fully ready, but evolved after decanting for
three hours. The Leoville Poyferre seemed somewhat acidic, with very
dry tannins, but may need more time.

I would drink yours now.
