  August 12, 2021 - My GOD...the nose! Gorgeous perfumed candied red licorice, crushed cherries, raspberry puree...some leather and sous bois earth tones...slight tomato leaf greenness that doesn't distract. Showing more earth tones with age than last had 4 yrs ago...of course...that bottle was brilliantly bright, fresh, and elegant...this one still a gorgeous feminine and transparent grace...yet not as perky! The pretty red fruits are a little muddled with earth...lifted blood orange acidity, green leaf, with a little edge to it...not in perfect balance as before...yet that nose is worth the price of admission! Still tasty and satisfying...yet might be in an awkward stage right now. So will hold the last bottle for a few more years in hope that the Bertheau magic will return. +pts
