A big dark wine 2010 Barolo Riserva Cascina Dardi is dense powerful and structured with massive tannins that need time to settle down. Black cherry menthol licorice tobacco cloves and a host of dark balsamic-inflected notes build into a crescendo of aromas and flavors on the huge finish. Like all the Fantino wines the 2010 Barolo Riserva starts off a bit rustic and then finds greater finesse with time in the glass. Readers should plan on being patient with the 2010. -- Antonio Galloni

The 2010 Barolo Cascina Dardi Bussia hits all the right marks with a beautiful sense of elegance and grace that is immediately apparent. The aromas dangle in front of you delicately and seductively with ethereal layers of spice blue flower almond paste anisette and dried cherry or wild berry. The workmanship here reflects an attention to the minute details offered by Nebbiolo. The tannins are silky and long with deeply polished texture. Barolo Cascina Dardi Bussia is a fine poised and super-confident expression. Drink: 2016-2026. -Monica Larner
