1996 Latour

[Stealthman]

A local retailer near me is having a French wine blow out. There is a bottle of 1996 Latour which I have gazed at longingly for close to a year now but wouldn't break down for $349. Well they have it marked down to $199 and it's a might tempting at that price. Here is the question, the store is a consistant 74 degrees and this bottle has been here for close to a year. Since this wine traditionally is capable of very long term aging would this temperature level have large negative effects or would it just mature in 60 years instead of 100?
