Dude, maybe you shouldn't gamble, you picked the worst possible 8653 in 2005. Also, 2005 label cake for less than $200RMB? Vendors would only sell you stuff more expensive than it should be but seldom cheaper than it should be.
Generally speaking, for XG:
First year is the best: 99 Flat Iron/ 2006 FT number four.
Eariler batch is better: 2005 January Thick Paper 8653, 2008 Nanzhou Cake, 2004 Aug White bricks (much better than the Nov one, I have both)
Iron is better: 2011 Dark Gold Iron VS non-iron is like totally different cakes.
Yeah, I am the CEO of MX Tea, check out our warehouse:

Jokes aside, MX's tea is great but sometimes you get a badly storaged one. Like my 2004 Nov white brick and 2004 green box tuo.
YMMV
