Reilly's is in Clare. See there website: http://www.reillyswines.com/
The wine is $45 from the producer but $40 per bottle by the 6-pack from Cellarbuild / Wineonline. I presume that is the broker you are speaking about. Google is good! (looks like an export wine that did not get the sales they wanted)

I suggest such a price is a "bit-rich" given the price of Clare reds (excluding Armagh), especially without any history. Also, a mere 92 points from RPjr. does not give a great deal of substance to the price either.

If you buy, I encourage you do so only to drink, as it would not be a good investment... unless you buy the 2002 and you think it is a whole lot better than the 2001... but there are a lot of "next big things" out there!
