Haven't posted here in a while, and I'm a little late but I've been somewhat underwhelmed with this years DJs offerings as well; no matter where I got them from. Maybe there's some good stuff available somewhere but so far no real luck. OTOH I've tasted some remarkable 2015 FF leaves from Nepal, some Jun Chiabaris, Guranses and a wonderfully complex Sakhira. If it goes on like this our friends in Darjeeling have even more to worry about.
