Happened to have some luck this morning and saw a sign for an estate sale taking place. Popped in and was able to snag the above 21 bottles.
At $4 each I was willing to take some risks on fill line/ sediment. As someone who rarely gets the chance to try some older bottles, I’m very excited. Let me know if anything exceptional stands out!

Cos, La Rioja Alta, and D&S wines are most interesting to me.
Well, if genuine and in good condition that first one Cos D’Estournel is in the ballpark of $200.
Do you know how they’ve been stored over the years – were they in a cellar?
The Cos and the 904 are the clear standouts. If either shows well, that’s your total investment returned several times over. There are also quite a few others that have a good or reasonable chance of showing well, subject to storage conditions. Gilles Robin Crozes can be tremendous!
I would just advise to go into every bottle with an open mind and try to learn from it/enjoy it intellectually even if you don’t immediately enjoy it hedonically.
Fun! Lucky you.
Nice haul! That 1990 TANCABARRA is a find!
