Nope... I never saw it appear as available until this morning when it appeared as sold out.

Though I don't believe I would have risked my own wallet to buy one. :lol:

I did really enjoy the other two, which I had over the weekend. I'll try to post some notes, but in general they were nice and strong, great young sheng flavor. But, as with a lot of these... I'm not convinced is it worth that price.... not when I can buy some similarly spectacular young shengs for much cheaper, or I can buy some great aged shengs for the same price.

For most of us missing out on XZH "Risk One's Life to Pursue", YS has just offered autumn GFZ, it's got plenty to go around.
