Katie Beech –
I bought this wine after devouring the 2009 at a local Italian restaurant. However its seems as if the 2012 is a little deeper than its 2009 counterpart. So if you like your red a little more full bodied then this is for you – however do not mistake it for a pair with the 2009 or you will be sorely disappointed
