uncorked red wine

[Innkeeper]

The wines you mentioned are not older releases, but current releases. The overwhelming majority of wines that are currently for sale, are current releases. The vintage (year) on the bottle is the year the grapes in the wine were harvested. The higher quality wines spend most of the following year being made. Then they age in barrels for two or three more years. Then they are bottled and released.
