Matt, I am sorry to say that two years standing upright doesn't sound promising in the least.  Oxidation is more than likely.  (Foil wrapping doesn't make a difference, by the way.  That's only cosmetic, for cleanliness, chateau logo, etc.)  I'd get them on their sides right away and start cooking pronto.  cheers, Bonnie
