Definitely some oak and a bit of minerality, but most of whatever there was of the fruit seems to have faded already. Basically a very ordinary California Chardonnay.

Tropical nose but very little tropicality on the palate (maybe a hint of pineapple on the finish) Deep, rich minerality. Big but balanced oak and zingy acidity. This is drinking well now but has legs to go longer, gimmie summore!

Fantastic. Much better than the 88 WS gave it. Full bodied, rich without being too oaky. Very enjoyable. More tropical fruits than apple and pear.
