Tried my last bottle, and although it also had a lot of shmutz in the bottle, it was definitely NOT off. It's probably starting down the backside of its drinkability, though ... just that certain edge to it. But also still a lot of really wonderful fruit in there.

Sadly, was somehow mucked up. The bottle itself was full of particulate matter, and the wine pungent and off-color when I poured it into the decanter. Sour and undrinkable, only way to describe it.

Dark ruby red. Raspberry jam, spice and leather nose. Blackberries, plums, tart cherries, cocoa, smooth dry tannins, and a medium, berry-filled finish. Enjoyable, good value cab.

45 minute decant. Dark fruits with a bit of spice on the nose. Palate with continuing dark fruits and mild tannins. Not overwhelmed by oak. Relatively short finish.

Drinking well, but past it's prime. Though does still have good amounts of fruit and other flavorful components to it.
