Wine Lovers' Page: Emilio Lustau non-vintage Rare Amontillado "Escuadrilla"

Today's Wine Tasting Note

Emilio Lustau non-vintage Rare Amontillado "Escuadrilla" ($16.99)
Clear light amber color. Delicious walnut and brown sugar, aromas so rich that they seem to jump from the glass. Dry, full and strong, walnut flavors consistent with the nose, laced up with tart acidity and warmth. Long, clean and fine. U.S. importer: Europvin USA, Emeryville, Calif.; "Selected by Christopher Cannan." (March 1, 1998)

FOOD MATCH: Served after dinner, went nicely with a bite of Wensleydale cheese.

All my wine-tasting reports are consumer-oriented. In order to maintain objectivity and avoid conflicts of interest, I purchase all the wines I rate at my own expense in retail stores.
