1996 Laurel Glen "Reds" 3L Question

drew,

in my limited experience, i'd say your wine is a goner. my regular wine shop has temps constantly in high 60s, and in the past year i've bought some low- to mid-level wines off the clearance shelf that were from 96 and 98 in burgundy, 97 and 00 in oz. the 96, 97 and 98s were totally over the hill. just poured them out. and the '00 (which i had a few weeks ago) was tired. i'll keep my fingers crossed for you (and have those backup bottles ready).
