Anyone tasted this one yet?

I've recently come accross several bottles of Hess Colection Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder 1998. I've seen this wine rated very highly in several places, but haven't actually talked with anyone who's tasted it themselves. Curious to get another opinion.
(I'll give you mine when I quaff some myself!)

Thanks!

If you have the Hess Collection 98 it must have been sent by mistake. The current Collection is 97.Are you sure this isn`t the bottling labeled Hess Select? You can normally rely on the Collection series as one of the top wines of each vintage, and always one of the top wines for the money. Been drinking them since their 86 release and always a fine wine. Winoweenie

Whoops!!!!

I typed the wrong key and didn't realize! The vintage is 1996. Since you've had it, how's the wine? Does it live up to its reviews?

Thanks!
