The 2012 Bolgheri Rosso is a Bordeaux blend that oozes richness and opulence in the form of cherry syrup, crème de cassis, dark kirsch and chocolate fudge. The wine’s voluptuousness is its defining characteristic. It’s not that it tastes overripe, but it does boast huge extraction and concentration that will either appeal to readers, or won’t. I remember feeling that the 2011 edition of the same wine was overdone. This expression feels slightly more tempered and restrained and that works in its favor.
