I have just moved and decided to fill up my new wine celler. I am not a wine collecter, and have little knowledge about this hobby. Here's my predicament: Someone has offered to sell me a 1968 Chateau Lafite bottle of wine for approx. $265 US. I do not know this person well enough to trust him. I spoke to him today and asked him if the bottle was well stored. His reply was that it was kept in a dark closet at room temp. for a long time. What are the odds of this wine turning out OK for a future special occassion? Thank you for your time and understanding. Tony
