Old bottles - still drinkable?

So I am at my inlaws and I have been asked to sort out their tiny cellar. In there, I found a handful of bottles that were produced quite some time ago... Cellartrker is behind a paywall and the net is only so helpful. Could someone help by telling me if any of the following are a straight into the bin?

  • Maby domaine - Prima Donna 2012 (Rose)
  • Campolieti - Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore 2013 (high hope for this one still being ok)
  • Chateau Vessiere - Costieres de Nimes 2003
  • Chateau Saint- Baulery- Saint Chinian 1997
  • Chateau Encoste - Coteaux du Languedoc 2003

Thanks in advance.
