I'd call that good Bokeh.
It's even, it's heavily blurred, but I think any lens with that shallow a depth of field can render decent bokeh.
For example, I wasn't a big fan of some of the Bokeh I got out of the 50mm 1.4 I rented, but other times it was fine.
For example, with the forks at f1.4, with a very close focal length, it does a nice job rendering the candles in the background though it does have some cats-eye bokeh as mentioned above.
But with Riley, at a medium focal length at f1.6, the borders of the lamp and the fringe of the chair have a hard-to-soft transition that I don't like.
In the second Riley shot, I'm at f8/45mm on my 16-45 f4. And I'd consider that to be good bokeh. The highlights are a little hexagonal, but given the settings I'm happy with the bokeh.
