Huh, had one more btl of this, and it is in an excellent place. Opened three days ago and has been in the fridge overnight since. On the nose: some rocks funk, cola, olive brine, black raspberry. On the palate: lovely density and good acidity. Attenuated tannin on the finish, but this btl was still going very strong after several days open. Yum!

My first Proper. Quite good. Nose was less powerful than expected - just hints of cherry, plum, licorice menthol and slate. Palate was more powerful and complex than expected. Cherry and Blueberry transition to lighter fruit in multiple layers. Licorice and Menthol are present but secondary. Med+ Body with balanced acid and tannins still present. Long finish. Delicious and drinking very well at this point.

Yep, still freaking amazing QPR wine. Baby Cayuse still comes to mind.
