It is hard to answer this question without knowing a little more about the wine. Where it is made is a factor - European (Old World) wines, as a rule, would likely age longer than New World (North and South America, Australia) wines, which, for the most part are best within two to three years of release. Old World wines tend to last longer because of high tannic acid levels that make them difficult to drink until they have been aged long enough for the tannins (which serve as a preservative) to break down to palatable levels.

Quality is also a factor. Lesser quality wines are best consumed early.

Cheers!
