Interesting Bordeaux. Classic note of black currant, tannins and a subtle bitter note, usually foind in Médoc.
Was good with mahi mahi dinner.

2014 Château Senau
Graves is not my favorite Bordeaux appelation. This wine is not bad. Has strong citrus note in the nose and citrus notes in the taste as well.
Had it with desert. Not sure I want to repeat.
2014 Château Lagarere
Wonderful Bordeaux. Never seen it in US One of things to enjoy on St. Martin. Strong note of black currant followed by a subtle note of red currant after aerator.
Enjoyed it with veal liver (one more thing to enjoy here).

2015 Resérve de Bonpas
Very nice Côtes du Rhône. Usual tones: a little cherry, chokeberry, leather. But also a strong note of black olives, quite unexpected. Would buy again.
Enjoyed it with slow cooked rabbit.
Don't know what happened. Maybe Haskell's stored it wrong, maybe wine is not consistent. But bought it a week ago and was thoroughly disappointed.
2010 Le Vieux Donjon
Best red wine I ever had. Yes, I paid $70 plus tax for a bottle. Can afford for my birthday. It worth every penny. Wine Spectator lists some notes they found in it. Robert Parker found something else. I'd say I felt everything listed in both reviews. Don't want to list here, I just enjoyed it. Try it at least once, try it before in moved to 3 digit price range (it will).
Enjoyed it with slow cooked rabbit.

2014 Marquis de Talandier
Last bottle from Costco box. And the best one. Bordeaux with a twist. It has usual Bordeaux notes: black currant, a little bit of sour cherry. Also a little bit of bitter tannin note, usually found in Medoc. But the most surprising is a strong lemon-pepper note, more pronounced after aerator and even more strong in the aftertaste.
Enjoyed it with smoked trout pizza.
