If it's in a closet somewhere at room temps, you could easily be on the downside already. If it has been in your wine cooler all this time that's better. Regardless, I'd drink it soon - nothing to be gained and a lot to be lost by pushing it beyond the twenty year mark...
I agree... a 92 Harlan should by no means be "dead" unless its been subject to poor storage conditions. Has it always been in your wine cooler...?
