Wow, they took their time releasing it. Not too surprised given how much of the 2007 & 2008 vintages is still in circulation. Not surprised either that the price has clearly not come down to counteract what is surely a drop in sales volume. :roll:

Do they need a vintage every year? Why not skip 2009? And does 2009 actually mean they emptied the casks in 2009, and kept the full bottles or tanks around the warehouse for 6 months? That's not very lean :)
