Good to hear you had one that wasn't completely off.
Either had a bad one, then a good one and/or the aging really helped. All I know is that the '09 with a year of aging was awesome.

May have to buy another couple 22s and drink one right away and age the other a year and see how it differs. I should do the same test with a couple accompanying full-body maduros.
