Summary
From Porto in Portugal, Alves de Sousa Quinta da Oliveirinha Porto Vintage is a fortified wine.
Only 30 of its Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 30 reviewers with at least two ratings feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside holds 1,422 Portuguese fortified wines.
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.
