John Forrest Collection Wairau Valley Marlborough Chardonnay (2010)

Released when several years old, the 2010 vintage (5*) has a scented, slightly smoky bouquet. An elegant, still youthful and very age-worthy wine, it has highly concentrated, peachy, citrusy, slightly buttery flavours, gently seasoned with oak, balanced acidity, excellent delicacy and vigour, and a long, harmonious finish. Maturing very gracefully, it should be at its best 2015+.
