To open, or not to open...

[winecollector]

I purchasesd a very limited amount of 1996 Caymus & Chateau St Jean Cinq Cepages due to the overpricing of both this spring. I would prefer to drink these wines at their peak, and would appreciated any opinions on how long to cellar them before opening them. With only a half a dozen bottles between the two of them, I'd prefer not to experiment with them unnecessarily, if I can avoid to.

Also, any cellaring/opening recommendations on the 95' & 96 Opus and 96'Cakebreads (both Three Sisters & Benchmark Select) would be appreciated.
