Certainly the yeast and probably the clearing agents should be replaced, along with the Kmeta and K-sorbate, bentonite is probably okay, but if you have some already replace that as well.
I would open them, mix them up properly, then give them a taste. If you get oxidized flavors/colors they aren't any good, if not, what do you have to lose??? If they are white wines, I would be more worried than reds, but odds are that after 5 or 6 years they won't be the best thing you ever made.

I agree -- there's nothing to lose. I made up a 2 yo sauvignon blanc -- the result was darker than expected, but otherwise it came out ok.
if white wines mix with some fruit concentrate make like apricot chardonnay or other combinations.

Made both a Pinot Noir and an Old Vine Zin from concentrate that "expired" two years prior last fall. Nothing wrong with them. Probably a little less berry flavor and aroma than if I had been able to make them on schedule. Does life get in the way of your wine making too?
