Villa Artimino, Carmignano (Tuscany, Italy) 2012

($20): If you need another example of how Carmignano over delivers, look no further than this one from Villa Artimino.  Very fragrant, it has a touch more concentration without being overdone or sacrificing any elegance.  It, too, has an engaging texture and a welcome firmness balanced by plenty of energy.  Keep it in he cellar for another five years.  You’ll be happy you did.
