The 2016 Barolo Bussia Cascina Dardi is a terrific wine from brothers Alessandro and Gian Natale Fantino. Wonderfully deep, layered and nuanced, the 2016 has so much going on. As always, there is something incredibly personal about these wines. The 2016 is not a perfect wine (there is some volatile acidity), but it is beguiling and compelling in every way. Menthol, spice, dried herbs and a whole range of balsamic-infused notes wrap around a core of dark fruit as this mysterious, enthralling Barolo gradually shows off its considerable charms.Inc.

The evolution of this wine has been phenomenal since I tasted it in barrel a year ago with the same black cherry, plum and citrus character but with a turn to orange leaf, dark Chinese tea, and mushroom. Full body, fine and velvety tannins with a touch of dust to the texture. So much chocolate and fruit undertones with forest floor and hints of tobacco, too. The mouthfeel and complexity are seductive. Better from 2022 but a joy to taste. Spring 2018 release.Inc. VAT£814.84 -

As good as it gets, yet in a different style compared to the also perfect 2016, the 2015 Maya Proprietary Red Wine boasts a sensational, ethereal, heavenly style to go with tons of cassis and blackberry fruits intermixed with notions of dried earth, tobacco, chocolate, and a beautiful sense of minerality. This cuvée is normally a blend of 60-70% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc, and it’s the Cabernet Franc that gives it another layer of complexity and elegance. The sexy, upfront nature of the 2015 vintage is front and center. This is a magical wine to drink over the coming 3+ decades.Inc. VAT£1,473.62 -
The Franck Bonville Les Belles Voyes Grand Cru 2016 is an exquisite example of timeless winemaking tradition, cultivated in the prestigious terrains of Avize, France. This Chardonnay wine is produced by the esteemed Franck Bonville estate, known for their dedication to cultivating the finest Grand Cru vineyards in the Champagne region. A single vineyard Champagne born solely from the 50-year-old vines of Les Belles Voyes, this Champagne exhibits a perfect blend of vibrancy and elegance.
This vintage undergoes meticulous vinification in oak barrels, a conscious choice by Olivier Bonville, the fourth-generation winemaker, to imbue the wine with complexity and depth. An outstanding balance of richness and freshness, its straw colour with silver hues mirrors the sparkling crispness and ripe, intense fruitiness. A sensational product of its terroir, the Franck Bonville Les Belles Voyes Grand Cru 2016 is perfect for champagne connoisseurs in search of unique, expressive vintage offerings.

Decanter (94)
While at the village level in 2018 we seem to find more dilute wines, Massolino should be considered an exception because they produced just a village Barolo, a blend of all their MGAs, including Vigna Rionda. The wine shines for its bright ruby colour, meaty and tarry with a incredible depth of rhubarb and minerality. Open-knit with its wild strawberry and cherry fruits, it flows on the velvety palate, lean yet refined, with polished tannins and brilliant integrated acidity. The finish is all cherry kernel and liquorice root. With this 2018 the estate confirms its consistency.Inc. VAT£199.24 -
IWSC (97)
An expressive buttered brioche nose, gun smoke reduction, red fruit and toasted almond and pistachio notes. This very precise and elegant Champagne has a piercing acidity that underscores the long finish of lime zest, quince and apple.Inc. VAT£454.82 -
