What reviewers say
“Seriously undervalued winery here. The Chardonnay was very good, but this Merlot is even better. They have extracted everything there is to extract from this grape. I would sniff this wine for ages. Forrest spicy blueberry. Bloody intense. Wonderful. Dark in the glass. The palate does not disappoint... But at this price level can't match the nose. Peppery throughout. Berry base. Also throughout. Overall, far better than expected. #AlComo”

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 Austo Merlot Appassimento 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 · イタリア (24 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 126.
