The 2019 Nizza Riserva is packed with inky dark fruit, graphite, cured meat cloves leather and lavender. Deep and layered, with tremendous stature, the Riserva is a wonderfully complete wine that just needs a few years in bottle to come together. It is another impressive wine in this range from Olim Bauda.

The wine opens with an enchanting bouquet of violets and iris. As it breathes, dark, luscious fruits of ripe blackberries, black cherries and a touch of black-currant jam pour from the glass. The generous fruit notes shine on the palate and are beautifully balanced by a mouth-watering acidity, ensuring the wine remains vibrant and fresh on the palate. The interplay between the fruit, floral notes and subtle earthy undertones creates a complex and engaging wine.

A pure nose of cherry and other ripe red fruits. Laden with sour cherry, damsons and dried cranberry. Freshness and poise, precision and intensity, the oak deftly handled.

This has a red-fruited character with hints of tea leaves, dried herbs and ground cloves. Medium-bodied with bright and vivid fruit, crunchy acidity and firm, polished tannins. Fresh and spicy. Drink now, or hold.
