Got one bottle (my first true California cult wine). Has anyone had this? When should I pull the cork?

Don't know what vintage you have, but if it's the '92 try about 2060... Frown

After having the '98 Maya a couple months ago, and from what I've read here on these boards over the course of time, I would say give it 10 years min. This is a marathon wine!

So much wine.....so little time!!!

CWG: Definitely another 5 years plus, decade or so if you like aged clarets.
