    I got one as a gift but I don't know when it was bottled, distributed.

    Any help would be great?

    Zhukov is released every August.

    Thanks, but He didn't buy it this august though. Most likely two or three years ago.

    2013 Vintage had the bottle date etched around the neck (not all bottles are the same where they etched it)
    2012 and 2011 they used tiny white letters to mark it on the label itself, they tend to wear off easily but you can still see the marks where it was though if you look close enough and put it up near a light.
    2010 was old label, kinda self explanatory lol.

    Hope this helped!

    09 and 10 look identical so if it is the old label you won't be able to tell the difference.
