[QUOTE="Kapnismologist, post: 58523, member: 487"] Vaperfavour and Stefanos, Both of you bring up, what I would consider to be at least, very interesting points relating to issues of vintage for this oft-discussed offering. This extends, it seems into at least some of the rest of the range as well - evidence, perhaps, of all types of possible production / recipe / protocol shifts at Germain at that time (e.g., crop-leaf shifts, equipment upgrades, pre-blending or post-aging protocol changes, etc., etc., etc. - who knows). In this case, I would say let's make a note of it and, should something evolve out of it now or later so much the better. If only I had a good datable range of samples, perhaps a vertical tasting would be in order. If nothing else, though, this is all invaluable data from my perspective and should I come across some older examples, especially '96 or earlier as noted by Vaperfavour, I will acquire and test as possible. Vaperfavour - if you could check the older tins you have cellared when you get back in July (and perhaps snap a few pics which I can add to my ever-growing tin photo archive), that would great information to have. Please do add it to your 'to do' list if you don't mind. Thanks gents! [/QUOTE]
