Some noticeable age on the Nose and Palate -- it comes across as appropriately advanced for its age. More youthful than my previous bottle on 01/28/22. Light wafts of ginger and honey on the moderately-aged Nose. Palate leans a bit to the lighter side, and it came across as a bit watery / lacking in density and depth. Given how well my previous bottle responded to healthy air exposure, it's certainly possible this bottle, too, would have similarly benefited if given the opportunity. Drink Now and over the near term.

Clearly taking-on some age, as it's losing some youthful weight, but still youthful. Better after being open for a day or two, and best served on the cooler side. I continue to love it.

NOSE: ripe, with soft oak in the background; fruit comes across as a mix of honeydew melon, papaya, and pineapple.
BODY: medium-rich pale yellow color; medium to medium-full bodied.
TASTE: medium+ acidity, with ripe fruit (pineapple leading the way); not overblown/blowsy; plenty of underlying mineral; alc. is well-hidden. I enjoyed this, and feel it's best to Drink Now and over the near term.
