Moss Wood Cab Sav 1996, 1997, 1998

[Croquet King]

A friend of mine purchased a well cellared collection of Moss Wood from 1996, 1997 and 1998.

Has anyone on the forum had these wines?
I got a mixed dozen myself last night.

I tried the 1996 & 1998 six years ago: the 1998 was very good and I felt the 1996 possibly needed more time:

Seems the 1996 is popular, this is also the only one I've tried, a couple of years back now. Excellent wine. Enjoy

Great - thank you for the information. Very happy with my purchase and can't wait to try them.

I tasted the '97 many years ago, it was young, but lovely, with very much a Bordeaux nose.

At the time I preferred it to the '95 Grange but we are talking different wines, different vintages, and different stages in their own evolutionary path.

Judging by the posts here it seems to me the likely order of consuption ought to be '97, '98, then '96.
