I love the Echo label made by Lynch, and this was a power house of a Bordeaux. Brick wall of tannin even 4 hours later and after 60, yes, 60 hours of decanting, the flavors being masked by high acidity and tannin of a young wine finally had their 15 seconds of fame. Dark rich flavors of creme-de-casis and blackberry tart, and gravelly minerality, with a toasty oak undertone and still finishing with a firm tannin but just more enjoyable than right out of the bottle. — 10 years ago
Wow. A bottle that could change a lot of minds about Sherry. Beautiful nutty aromas along with almost everything else you would expect from Finos all the way through Pedro Ximénez. Sweet yet dry, creamy yet saline, smokey and caramel-y. I'm now a fan. — 12 years ago
Ambar pálido con cierta turbiedad. Espectacularmente aromática. Frutos secos, miel y bajamar. Fresca, salina y muy muy persistente. Perfecta para maridajes atrevidos. — 9 years ago
Lovely rose gold color, with a clean and fresh nose. Fruit, minerals, flowers.. Everything I would want in a rose. Plenty of strawberry, tart cherry, watermelon, white and red rose petals and dried herbs. Fruit shines on the palate with plenty of acidity to carry you to a pleasant finish. Sitting perfectly at 13.5, the ABV is not a detracting component. — 10 years ago
Jammy and fantastic. Will definitely get this one the next time I see it. — 10 years ago

Going tawny color. Complex mature nose of meat and fruit. Brick leather meat strawberries. Great mature bottle. Complex savory with a line of almost sweet fruit. — 11 years ago
Technically 2010, though officially NV. Incredible. Ordered from NY but I hope to find a local supplier. — 12 years ago
Great taste. Not dry. Smooth with a hint of blackberry. Ideally paired with a medium rare steak. — 9 years ago
Keith's annual fino dinner where I over drink carbon dated sherry. Dry start and finish with rockstar spunk. Very mineral. Special barrel at the end of the line with the oldest wine in the entire solera. — 10 years ago
Garnet with rim variation turning brick/terracota, corn on the cob, dill, molasses. — 11 years ago
Tasty and inexpensive. — 11 years ago
