2019 Domaine de l'Ecu Nexus
Tasting Notes
"Deep red with garnet highlights, this wine opens with enticing smoky nuances, seamlessly blending red and black fruit aromas—imagine a basket brimming with strawberries, raspberries, cherries, and blackberries. The palate offers a supple entry, with an airy, luscious texture underscored by floral notes of violet and blue blossoms. Classic Loire Valley freshness balances perfectly with a finely tuned tannic structure, providing just the right amount of grip. The finish is long and elegant, showcasing the wine's delicacy and finesse.
Origin of Stained Glass Label: St Vitus Cathedral, Prague"
