My last bottle. Not as complex as the last one. Lychee, rose water, touch of honey. Pretty, more distinct than complex. Moelleux with good length but lacking acidity. My guess is this is on a plateau or slow decline. Drink up while it is still interesting.

Needs some time in the decanter to show its stuff and smooth out. An initial woodsy note blew off with air. A touch more concentration would up its score but elegant and very much of its place with cherry, plum, cocoa and hints of truffles. Nice!

Very fresh. Green apple, lime, faint nectarine. Well balanced with a mineral streak. Not super distinctive but the quality shines and the sum is greater than the parts here.
