What reviewers say
“Organic red dry wine made from Monastrell grapes from the Spanish region of Yecla. The wine has a rich, deep color with hints of ripe plum. The aroma of the wine, with notes of black berries, reveals notes of oak and vanilla, which contrast with the pepper and licorice notes.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Fruity wine, fresh and lively, with good acidity and powerful tannins and pleasant. On the nose shows aromas of fruit with some complexity. Well balanced and with good body, long and happy, it shows a red picota very much alive.

152 other reds from Spain form the cohort it is ranked inside. 957 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 981 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 Barahonda Monastrell 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 · Espagne (153 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 957.
