Ascheri Barolo Coste & Bricco 2006 Was €44.99 Now €26.99 Save 40%
4**** Decanter Magazine, Aug 2011 - “Coffee, chocolate, spice, sage, cedar and cherry fruit bouquet. Bright and uplifting palate with chewy tannins. A seamless traditional style and lovely dark berried fruit quality. Elegant and inviting.”
Château Cordeillan-Bages 1997 Was €39.99 Now €22.99 Save 43%
Owned and run by the Cazes family of Château Lynch-Bages, this is a beautiful, fragrant, truffley Pauillac that is drinking perfectly right now. Everything about this shows that it is at ideal maturity, decant and enjoy over Christmas.
Château Lynch Moussas 2008 Was €35 Now €24.99 Save 29%
“A dark plum/ruby garnet colour is accompanied by aromas of damp earth, forest floor and sweet red and black currant fruit, ripe tannin and medium body. This well-made effort can be enjoyed now and over the next 7-10 years.” - Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, May 2011.
Château Giscours 2008 Was €49.00 Now €34.99 Save 29%
Rated ‘Outstanding’ 90 Points Robert Parker - “Dark plum/garnet, this elegant, medium to full-bodied, beguiling, seductive 2008 is a sleeper of the vintage. Round and silky-smooth with lovely black cherry and black currant fruit imbued with touches of smoke, herbs and earth, this relatively evolved effort is best consumed over the next 15-17 years.” RP
Château Lynch Bages 2008 Was €115 Now €65 Save 43%
Rated ‘Outstanding’ 94 Points Robert Parker - “A sensational effort for the vintage, this textured, opulent, superb Lynch Bages is already strutting its stuff and should easily last for 20 years. Medium to full-bodied with an opaque dense purple colour, notes of flowers and cassis, a layered texture that builds incrementally in the mouth and tremendous purity and depth, it can be drunk now or cellared for two decades or more. Bravo!” RP
Musella Amarone Riserva 2006 Was €48.99 Now €28.99 Save 41%
Rated ‘Outstanding’ 94 Points Wine Spectator - “A lovely wine, displaying overall style and elegance, as well as a core of intriguing spice flavours that are wrapped in layers of cherry compote, damson plum preserves, dark chocolate shavings and spicy tobacco notes. There’s fine integration here, with an overall vibrancy. The long, spicy finish shows just a hint of tannins” AN
Sierra Cantabria Coleccion Privada 2007 Was €36.99 Now €23.99 Save 35%
Rated ‘Outstanding’ 94 Parker Points - “…exceptionally perfumed nose of sandalwood, incense, violets, truffle, and wild black berries. Opulent and succulently-fruited on the palate, this already complex wine will blossom over the next 5-6 years and offer a drinking window extending from 2015 to 2027 if not longer.” JM
Campogiovanni Brunello 2006 Was €34.99 Now €24.99 Save 29%
Rated ‘Extraordinary’ 96 Points Wine Spectator – “Liquorice, sweet spices, toast, smoke and sanguine aromas and flavours envelop a kernel of raspberry in this intense, extroverted red, which is complex, focused and structured, with an expansive finish. There’s fine potential, but needs time. Best from 2014 through 2027″
Antinori Tignanello 2008 Was €80 Now €55 Save 31%
Rated ‘Outstanding’ 94 Parker Points - “The 2008 Tignanello is unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage. The 2008 isn’t a huge or obvious Tignanello, rather it is a wine that impresses for its sublime elegance and precision. …. In 2008 the Tignanello has more energy, focus and length than the Solaia. It is a fabulous achievement!” BS
Torres Mas la Plana 2007 Was €44.99 Now €32.00 Save 29%
Rated ‘Outstanding’ 93 Parker Points - “It opens in the glass to reveal a smooth texture, elegant personality, and enough structure to evolve for 2-3 years. Nicely proportioned and with excellent volume, it has a drinking window that extends from 2014 to 2027″ JM
Smith Woodhouse Vintage 2007 Was €59.99 Now €34.99 Save 42%
Rated ‘Outstanding’ 91 Parker Points - “An alluring bouquet of mineral, pencil lead, espresso, violets, black currant, and fruitcake. Dense and structured on the palate, it has an excellent integration of alcohol, acidity, and tannin. It should be one of the longer lived wines of the vintage with 12-15+ years of aging potential and a drinking window extending through 2037″ JM
And many more fine wines available instore!

as an exceptionally good customer of o briens, who happens to live in cork, could you please explain why I am not in a position to take part in your annual sale. This is a change in policy as last year i was happy to spend a four figure sum on wine from o’briens pre christmas. I am self employed and do not have the time or opportunity to get to dublin in that time frame
