Bottles of wine in the attic

[Innkeeper]

The attic is a much bigger problem than the state. No wine in the world would survive one year in my attic in Maine. All the wines were journeyman to begin with. All come from good to excellent vintages, and were probably very enjoyable to begin with. Still maintain that they are all toast. Even if they had been properly stored in a climate controlled system, doubt that any would be much more than a pleasant quaff today.

The first one is from a negociant, and is just one step above "Red Bordeaux Wine." Have not heard of Hauchet or Branda, but maybe someone else can help. They are not significant chateaux. Domaine Carillon is a significant producer in Burgundy. Not familiar with the specific wine Chateau du Carillon, and don't know if it is related.
