You do not want the wine to go over 80 degrees F.
If the wine has any age on it, it will take a week or two to settle back down.
If your idea of high end bordeaux is '03 petrus,
1. I would pack it very differently and,
2. do you need another friend.
How does that work against the cold temperatures in the hold?
