Tasting of 20 different 2020 BDX incl 3 first growths and all Super Seconds. LB held its ground and terrific QPR. Worth buying

Beautiful nose. Doesn’t need much decant. Slow ox 30 minutes. I thought it punched above it weight especially given what Napa cabs sell for nowadays and would be respectable as a grand vin so it’s certainly outperforms as a second wine (of Darioush). Paid $45 maybe and would easily buy again

This is one of those wines that exceeds expectations. I’m not good at
descriptors and in blind tasting I felt the the color looked like a Syrah but drank like a cab. For $17 I wish I had bought more. Terrific qpr
