Dark color, nice bouquet, 14.5% abv, good fruit, smooth tannins, complex flavors, great structure, drank with confit and magret of duck, with raspberry sauce, wild rice and sugar snap peas, bought in Bordeaux, a classy wine, will drink again.

This bottle was quite tart, light body, a bit thin, it needed food, drank with spaghetti and meatballs, 13% abv, drank easily, good food pairing, ok fruit, will drink again.

Balanced, good fruit, some acid, drank easily with chicken with Chinese veggies with dumplings, I think I have 1 more bottle until on to the next vintage, a good pairing.

Wow that is a good price. The wine is more like $40 in the US although I have seen it in some Costcos for less.I like your taste as I love DDO and Melville wines.

For Drouhin Oregon
I paid GBP 14.99 in Costco - less than $20 - vs $30+ here. I had a similar experience with D'Arenberg's Dead Arm, but there is no universal rule for this - you have to look at individual bottles, even within a label, to see which country is cheaper.
Pity they don't have Melville;
