Bright VAs that taste like grass and dried hay and field corn. A cardboard woodiness and the sour orientals. This reminds me of C&D Sunday Picnic but tastes a bit better due to the aged perique. I do not taste many red VAs in this which is my preference. I also seem to be gravitating away for orientals in my Va/Pers so this blend will not make it to my desert island.
