I don't think I had those first three, although the second one sounds familiar. I don't keep wines for longer than a few months - there was once a joke in Russia about a man from a poor region - he was getting 365 harvests of potatoes a year. When asked how he simply replied, in his broken Russian: "Hungry... very hungry" - he would plant them in the morning, but dig them out by dinner time. That's my story. I used to have a small wine cellar, but those times are long gone.
