What reviewers say
“I had very low expectations, however the essential protein assisted this Refosco to express itself. Dark ruby red colour with medium (+) nose intensity. Aromas and flavors of red cherry, sour cherry, strawberry, plums.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The wine has a deep ruby color with purple highlights and thick, slow-moving legs. The nose is explosive, showing seductive cherry, strawberry and plum aromas on a background of sweet spices and vanilla. On the palate, its concentrated, juicy fruit character and the silky ripe tannins create a round mouthful, which is underpinned by a fruity aftertaste that lingers on. This is a versatile wine that can be paired with a wide range of dishes, on various occasions. Try it with barbecued meats, spaghetti in spicy red sauce, a nice juicy hamburger or a platter of ripe cheeses. It is ready to be enjoyed now but it can benefit from bottle aging for at least another 8 to10 years.
From Thessaloniki in Greece, Adam Wines Refosco is a red.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 5 other reds from Greece, not against the corpus as a whole. 146 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 150 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Adam Wines Refosco lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Griechenland (6 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 146.
