Recommendations for long-term cellaring of 2017 and 2021 wines

I wanted to get half-case of wines for each of my kids' birth years along with maybe 3 bottles of port for later milestones since those can age better past 30 years. I'm not based in the US, so I would need to get most wines delivered, which is fine.

Ideally, I was thinking an old world red or white wine, but I know 2017 wasn't the best year for wines. My budget is about US$100-120/bottle, but less than that is always great.

Here's what I have come up with so far using this sub, WE, and ChatGPT:-

2017 - Wine

2017 Château Léoville Barton

2017 Chateau Suduiraut

2017 Pio Cesare Barolo DOCG

2017 Château Lynch-Bages 2017 (5ème Cru Classé)

2017 Le Chiuse Brunello di Montalcino
