Got 25g of this since I loved the 2013 sample I bought so much and I wanted to see what it would be like with some age. I’m a little under the weather so take this with a grain of salt, but I just didn’t like this nearly as much as the 2013. Flavor profile was similar, with some earthiness and that deep fruity sweetness lingering. It just was way more muted and less interesting than the 2013—fewer flavor notes I could pick up and less thick and satisfying. I also felt the mouth-watering effects were far less on this cake than the 2013. Still definitely good, and it’s lasting till 8 steeps with dark brews, but as it stands now I’d choose the 2013 over the 2011.
