I have not had this Bordeaux. I did a quick scan on my Wine Spectator search (a pay service and not really worth it unless you are a seriously demented wino like myself) and found it.

"Good color with cooked-fruit character on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied, with good fruit and a simple finish. Best after 2006. 5,900 cases made. –JS" The Grand Cru designation is not as big a deal as you might think. Sounds like you should drink it now and have it with a more complex dish. Very complex wines I think are best appreciated with simple dishes that highlight the wine and simple wines, vice versa. I hate ratings but the Wine Spectator gave it an 85. Not a high rated Chateau on any year or designation. I doubt that it will benefit by much more aging. I'd just open it up pretty soon and enjoy it now.

Salud and Happy Holidays.
