In Bordeaux, 2012 is a mid-weight vintage, happily early maturing and very enjoyable now. Léoville-Las-Cases and Pontet-Canet are classics of the genre, while Mouton Rothschild reflects the very best of the year.
In Italy, 2012s have similar accessibility; try Settimo’s Rocche dell'Annunziata for a very satisfying Barolo or Sassicaia for a top wine of the region in fine fettle. For something totally different, Ulysses from Napa combines rich Californian fruit with plenty of balancing acidity.
