Pours a golden yellow with high viscosity; extremely flinty nose, somewhat reductive initially, but blows off after some time in the glass. Ripe, yellow orchard fruits, bruised apple, yellow flowers, a healthy dose of French oak which is masterfully done IMO. Has a nice, mineral laden finish. Very long. Texture is so silky. A decent amount of power but balanced with acidity. — a day ago

One of the stars of night actually. Fantastic, silky texture. Buffets wines are quickly becoming one of my favorites simply for the deliciousness factor. I could drink these wines every day. Like velvet. Kland’s bday — a month ago

Very nice. This wine is all mineral. Light citrus fruits, but what I notice is that volcanic soil. Mild reductive notes. High acid. Good length. — 3 days ago

@Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego I agree; punches far above its weight

For 20$, a very good value. It is a simple wine, but delicious. Bright citrus, orange, preserved lemon, no rough edges, linear and without oak, alcohol is balanced. — 3 days ago

No formal notes; original was eaten by delectable but seems the app is back up and running for me. From what I remember very nice and clean, good acidity. Food friendly. A good value. — 20 days ago

Delectable ate my note per usual; one of the best champagnes I’ve ever had; aged, silky, mature autolytic character. Kland’s bday @Lyle Fass — a month ago
