What about the ones from 2010, will they be similar in 5 years to the other Monte #2s after 5 years? Is there a consistency even in the CC side of things? Or is that all over the map too, but they don't just start new brands - simply LEs or REs?

I am simply curious.
I believe they try to keep them consistant, but their success is up for debate. Of course like wine, certain years are better than others. Of course "better" for me might be worse for another. I feel they are relatively consistant within a marca, but not necessarily within a vitola; if that makes any sense. Again my experience is limited.

I know my answers are as solid as jello.
