  Winebar [4 Whites, 8 Reds, & 4 *shared* Bottles] from 06/19/20 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): Cf. the CellarTracker Article link [lower lft] to get specific info for this vintage, including acclaim.
  
  N: Restrained butter initially, with pineapples then moving on top with undertones of minerals
  
  P: MF body; RNDISH entry with NICE frt/oak met by an acidity which seamlessly directs the flow into & through the LONG, BALANCED finish with a lovely tangy/swtness. Not even REMOTELY showing its age, drink now & I'm thinking through its 10th. QUITE a *lovely* wine! My EXC+ (94,95/100, using that metric), & that may well be conservative! [Check with this vendor if interested in their *very* COMPETITIVE price!]

  This selection was more like a French Chardonnay than the typical California offering. Subtle fruit nose with more minerality and structure than expected for mid palate and finish.

  Nose lacks perfume. But pear and lemon are there. Mouth feel is buttery, but lacks fruit. Reduced palate. No finish. Drink it now. Only downhill from here.

  Yellow color with a bouquet and flavor lacking any fruit, only acid, minerals, and some angular oak. Drink it up.
