What reviewers say
“1997 war erst der 2. Jahrgang dieses großartigen Joint Ventures aus dem Burgenland. Tibor Szemes, F.X.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Deep ruby red with violet hue. The bouquet is of blackberries, sweet cherries with nuances of coffee and spices. The palate is full-bodied and with pleasant blackberry juiciness and structured tannins.
From Mittelburgenland in Austria, Arachon Evolution is a red. It blends Blaufrankisch, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zweigelt and Merlot.
331 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 336 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. 77 other reds from Austria form the cohort it is ranked inside.
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 Arachon Evolution 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 · Austria (78 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 331.
