I was at a fundraiser last night and ended up winning a bottle of wine.
I admit that I don't know much yet and am new to ejoying wines. After
searching the internet a bit, I came up with very little about this
bottle. I hope that some of you can offer advise on if it should be
stored for a year or two, or is this a wine to drink sooner. Thanks for
your help

Cuvee Alexandre
Casa Lapostolle
Rapel Valley
1998
Estate Bottled
3 Liter Bottle (Double Magnum?)

<http://www.casalapostolle.com/> -> YES -> ENGLISH -> Wines
-> Cuvée Alexandre -> Cabernet Sauvignon -> 1998

I'd say: Drink, but it should easily hold one or two further
years.
