All of these are a minimum of 15 years off of their prime. 10 years and they just approaching drinkable. Currently they will be closed tannin bombs with limited quality showing.

I would buy aged mouton for less than $800 if that’s what you are looking for, from places like winebid
Pichon is good but it all depends on your budget
There are plenty of good Bordeaux blends for under $100

None of these wines will be ready to drink for at least 5 years so you are in no hurry. You should be able to find earlier vintages for roughly the same prices. The 2019’s are nearly ready to drink, (a bit on the early side still)
I would go there.

General advice: don’t spend a lot of money on wine you don’t already know (or have a pretty good guess) that you will like. So, in your case, no, you should not pull the trigger on any of these.

Just saying I just bought 23’ Cos for $144 a bottle from JJ Buckley

Chateau Cos D’Estournel and all the wines shown are fantastic, however as previously mentioned they’re all years away from peaking / true approachability.
If you don’t have good storage or a wine cellar I would say to check out some other cheaper and more approachable Bordeaux.
I really enjoy Les Griffons de Pichon Baron, Pagodes de Cos, and Tempo d’Angelus. These would typically run in the $40-70 range around me in the Midwest, they all will give you a glimpse of their more prestigious brethren while also being accessible with some decanting young.
