Aged first in China’s warm, humid air, then stored in Vancouver’s cool, dry space, it’s got a crisp edge that makes it stand out. At this price, it’s a steal for sipping now or saving for later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"break-words\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow It Aged\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarted in China’s steamy climate, picking up a punchy base, then moved to Vancouver’s dry chill to mellow out.
