A huge fan of MossWood in general but that is amazing.

Another strange thing I’ve noticed at auction lately is that the 94 vintage is going for way above average prices compared to other great vintages such as 91, 95, 96, etc. In fact the suggested price range at Stirling has gone from around 70-100ish to 130-180 very quickly. Just as strange is a couple of auctions ago a heap of the normal range 94 went for more than the rare 94 reserve. Must say, I did have a 94 for my sons head wetting day last year and was an absolute gem and half, but still don’t understand the sudden price hike over other classics. Wonder if anybody can shed some light?

Given these are first 3 vintages I am not suprised. I haven't seen the 73 anywhere for at least 5-8 years.

Yes...very rare bottles now. They were in excellent condition and I know of at least one being used in an upcoming tasting event.
