I have 4 experiences with L13 and each of them is from different year.
Picture above is from late 80s (forgot the exact year) - tastiest of the 4.
Had one from 1996, 1999, and 2005. These were bottled years if I remember correctly. Each of them tastes differently, but all of them have the same baseline L13 taste profile.
The way they have been making L13 the last 10-15 years is much different than before and that's why you can find a bottle at Costco everyday for $3k. Also the crystal they use is no longer the same grade.
Would call this a bucket list item if you are somewhat into cognac.
