What reviewers say
“Un Rioja que más bien queda del lado ligero, pero que desempeña muy bien. En copa lo que se espera: color profundo, denso, brillante y limpio. Una primera nariz con alcohol, madera y especias. Segunda nariz con frutos rojos y un poco de vegetación.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Opaque cherry red color. Floral (Damascus rose) and fruit (strawberry, raspberry) aromas with spicy and smoky notes imparted by oak aging. Velvety, smooth, with fine, juicy tannins.

The calibrated figure is built from 12,803 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 13,298 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. The cohort it is ranked inside holds 435 Spanish reds.
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 Altos Ibéricos Crianza 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 · Spain (435 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 12,803.
