Very pleased with this wine! Stone fruit, papaya, florals, almonds, minerals and mild honey and vanilla. 45 min decant. Butter was present on the nose but surprisingly not on palate!
To me this shows more Burgundy in style 👍..appreciate the 13% alc.
Apparently this is #25 of Wine Enthusiast top 100 of 2021. It also received a rating of 94 from ? Every time I pick up the glass it changes! — 3 years ago

Dinner at #25 Crestfield with Asian mild ribs. Paired well. Balanced profile of red berries and earth ave acids and medium length. More old world in style. — 5 years ago

Really enjoyed this. Trisaetum threw this in when we joined the club this spring (we were there for the dry reislings). Typical cherry on the nose but had lots of earthy tones that made it very interesting. Would drink more…this is #25, not #24 — 2 years ago

Seemed to have gone over the hill. More acids then anything else though the bones and structure are there. Not bad with ribs for Evan's BD dinner at #25. Interesting! Tasted better after two days in Cali bottle. More enticing mushroom and forest floor on nose and livelier texture. Upping by 2 to 9 — 4 years ago

A lighter, more elegant version than its cousin, #2. A distinct apple note, with pear and a floral scent. Structured and light on the tongue. Pleasant by itself. Slightly cheaper than #2, but probably a bit more sophisticated. Pandemic bottle #25. — 4 years ago

Cellar raid #25 - there’s just something about these AP wines that just sit well with my soul. Structured yet light, classic high elevation Nebbiolo that you could drink all day. — 3 years ago

Seems rather closed in both aroma and palate. Improved and opened up after an hour or two. Dinner at #25 and went well with pork dish. Notes of dark red fruits and firm texture. Perhaps in sleepy stage. Thought to contrast with Hope Well. On day three in Eto the nose opened up! Texture still good. Raise by one to 8.9. — 4 years ago

First opened dinner at #25 with mild Asian ribs and much too new world oaky style of Syrah with intensity and some creaminess on palate and finish. Switched to Barnham Pinot which works much better. This will be used for more intense meaty dishes. — 5 years ago
