V pleasant, but the VAs do need more aging, a little rough at the moment. The 'flakes' are so broken that even those who want to rub out flakes won't need to. those who enjoy bright or grassy VAs probably won't care for this; those who prefer them on the dark side with some spicy Perique will enjoy this, esp. once it has some age.
