Tenuta Olim Bauda 2020 – Nizza Riserva

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The first nose is toasty, savoury and slightly smoky. It expresses notes of coffee, toasted hazelnut, toasted oak (with a fine touch of caramel), toasted vanilla, grated nutmeg and cloves, as well as notes of cocoa and dark chocolate. On the second nose, we find notes of juicy morello cherry, chocolate cherry, dried raspberry, raspberry coulis, fresh wood, crushed blackcurrant and blackberry, associated with notes of dried mint, white pepper, liquorice, pine sap and a fine floral bouquet (rose, peony). On the palate, the wine is tight, structured and chiselled. It expresses notes of wild black plum with its tannic touch, morello cherry, wild strawberry, red cherry jam, crushed blackcurrant, fresh raspberry and dried cranberries, as well as a tasty spiciness (cloves, licorice, nutmeg), a touch of peppermint and flowers (peony, dried rose). The finish is persistent, with a tight tannin structure, slightly drying, but balanced by lively acidity and juicy fruitiness. Good bitterness on the finish. An expressive, gourmand and fresh wine.
