drank over two nights - musky oak and cassis / current on the nose. good tannins, oak, and fruit. slightly thin on the mid palate w/ a touch of lavender on the back-end. More fruit, cassis and lavender came out on the second day so it would probably still benefit from a decant. Happy with this as the last few VJBs have had a shellac odor and flavor and I've been less than interested in trying VJB again.

Very disappointed. I think this was past it's prime like it was starting the turn...or it's a very harsh vintage.
