Clear deep garnet, clean nose, medium + intensity. Fully developed with aromas of (fading) black fruits, hint of cola and meat. Dry, medium+ tannin, medium acid, full bodied and high alcohol. Pronounced flavor intensity, ripe dark fruits almost on the jammy side, leather and spice. Long finish. Excellent. Last bottle I shall hold for a year or two.

Drank over a couple hours, aromas of blue and black fruit with a hint of smoked meat. Red and black fruit on the palate with some wood. Shortish finish. Seems to be on the down side.

The Old Lakeville needed about 2 hours after opening to get settled in. Was initially a little jammy and thick. Be patient, after a quick taste put the bottle aside. The Syrah opened up in to a beautifully integrated brooding rasblackberry with ripe dark fruit undertones that meanders down the palate over small light tannin's with the lighter notes holding the pitch longest. This is a wonderful wine.

Decanted for 2 hours. Inky purple/black color. Spicy, smoky nose with lavender, fennel and licorice leads to flavors of dark fruit and powdery tannins. Rich and moderately intense with a dry finish, I would suggest drinking this in the near term. Now through 2015

Consistently luxurious food wine.
