Ken Forrester The FMC Chenin Blanc 2010

The 2010 The FMC is aged in new 400-liter French barrels and is touched by a little botrytized fruit. It has a quality nose with lemon curd, beeswax and dried pineapple with great focus and poise. The palate is imbued with a sense of exuberance and poise, the acidity counterpoising the apricot, passion fruit and pineapple notes with style. It is very complex and finely tuned, a worthy follow-up to the fabulous 2009. Drink now-2020+ Score - 92. (Neal Martin, erobertparker.com, Dec. 2012)
