I've been meaning to deepen myself in the world of wine and have been lurking around here for a while.
I recently came across 30-ish wines in my mother's basement, who got them from my grandmother (read as: they've been there for a while ..)
Upon going through them, I recognised some of the names from reading around here. Chatgpt/Gemini tells me some of these are great bottles, but I wanted to get the some opinions from here to see whether there's actually something there. And if so; what to do with them (drink asap, store, ..).
Anyone who would like to shed a light on these and share their 2 cents? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
(In total, it's about 30 bottles, but I shared the ones that Gemini told me were the 'best' ones'.)

If well stored they should be fantastic. Decent names in the mix.
Your post will probably be deleted by mods.
That said, D’Issan, Montrose, Evangile are all great wines and if it’s a cold basement might be decent. I’d drink rather than try to sell, as you will have trouble getting an auction house interested in only three bottles most likely. (The rest you’ve posted are not notable chateaux and while you may get a surprise nice wine, they aren’t really made to go 40+ years.) Stand up for a few days, use an ah-so to get the cork out, and pour carefully so as not to stir up sediment.
