Second nibble

I was underwhelmed, last year, by Lamb Abbey Pearmain but decided I should give it a second chance if that became possible. Fortunately I found another this year. This sample, like last years', is small, less than 2 inches high. Compared to the earlier examples it is less blushed and more-typically pearmain shaped, slightly conical and with a little ribbing.

I have two of these, quite small, one crabapple-sized. Will they be enough? These are classically shaped with barely detectable ribbing and a streaky red blush over yellow-green. The lenticels show light against the blush and faintly green on the naked peel. One sample, shown, has a crown of russet radiating about its stem well. The aroma is sweet and complex, but I can't isolate scents.
