Giacomo Ascheri

Dolcetto d'Alba 2013

There is an Italian sale on in the O Briens library.. This is export is up there with the Godfather, Zola, Parma Ham, Pavorotti, Paresse and Sophia Loren... It enters the taste chamber and dances on every part of the tongue.. I love oak but this bit of juice is full of taste poke. It covers berries and spice with no oak, it's light, bright, sprite and is keeping the Baroness content and bright.. Bacchus should place the Jesuit AMDG across the label... Exceptional value also... If your dating a Galway girl this is one for Date night@Delectablewine Delectablewine — 11 years ago

A 9.0!! This must be a seriously pleasing vintage....I've discovered Pinot is the way to a Galway girls heart but I'll most certainly give this one a whirl.

Louis Jadot

Couvent des Jacobins Bourgogne Pinot Noir

I am sure I have spoken about this wine before...it's now a bottle of recovery as I was on Crianza for the last 5 hours... Lovely but too much... This is a star.. I will be staying with this until the Goose or the XO take over.... Or the ultimate.... The baroness instructs me to cease trading..... Nice one - a gift from clonskeagh — 11 years ago

Rinforzo

Old Vines Salento Primitivo 2013

This was bought for the baroness senior. She likes a full bodied bottle. I knew there would be glares from the baroness but hey what the hell.... This is an explosion of wood, berrys and all things nice. It's complex and a test but by God it's worth it. They should rename this roller coaster as every taste sensor in your mouth wants it. This may help me move on from the politeness of a Pinot.. Whatever the occasion, feast or date this is your only man - if it's yo challenging for your guests give them a choice of boiled water or a can of some lager... Arise my new friend we will be together for the rest of the century... Thank you Bacchus, you have looked after me again..@Delectablewine Delectablewine — 11 years ago

Sottimano

Cottá Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2010

This is the king of Baberas... Stunning, flowy in the trap, taste sensation. The baroness fell in love again when she tasted this..... And not with me.. There is rumour she has been spotted liking the bottle... We will be back for a full out attack on this bottle of sin and joy... Long live the king- we bow to you and your joyous juice — 11 years ago

Domaine Borie de Maurel

Esprit d'Automne Minervois 2013

This was a label pick... It wooed me in like a lady posing in an Amsterdam window... I loved it, oak, fun, playful on the back of the palate.... It reminded me of the first time I tasted a wispa bar..... The baroness was shocked that I selected a wine on looks alone... You can judge a wine by its cover.... This wine found me wandering through the library of O Briens - thank god it did@Delectablewine Delectablewine — 11 years ago

Quinta do Vallado

Douro Red Blend 2012

Vallado.. Do... Do... Do... One of the best Douros I have tasted... Complex structure with the excitement of the first teenage kiss. It thrilled my taste buds and then danced at the back of my throat... Baroness very happy as it was the wine at her birthday celebration... I believe the vineyards of Douro are soon to become world class....@Delectablewine Delectablewine — 11 years ago
