I hope it's as good as I hear.
My advice? See if you can figure out when it was rolled. That will make all the difference in the world.

As in?...Age will improve or some vintage are better than others?

IMO (and it may not be worth much
:-)), the older the better for these.

My guess on the Opus is that it's this christmas holiday release. The Opus by me usually last a month or 2 after they are released

+1 I think this goes for Anejos as well, I bought a few sharks from the current release and those definitely need some down time. In my experience at least a year of rest really helps these mellow out a bit and allows a lot more flavor to come through, YMMV though

6 months to a year and a half is perfect for Anejos, anything longer and they just get dull IMO. Fresh they're worth the money, with a year they're worth twice that.

I agree, I like the Anejo's from 1-2 years, and Opus with 3+ years. Everyone will be different though.
