What reviewers say
“Svak lys kant over i bekmørk rubinrød farge. Åpner seg i glasset og leverer modne bjørnebær, mørke plommer, varme kryddertoner, mørk sjokolade, røyk, kaffe og jord. Saftig i anslaget. Myk og velbalansert stil, nesten silkemyk, så melder tanninene seg. Fyldig og kraftfull, men frukten i vinen skjuler 15 prosent alkohol. Lang og ungdommelig avslutning preget av skogsbær, kakao, krydder, jord og brent kaffe. Fyrrig kraftdemonstrasjon dominert av et ferskt bærpreg. Solid sak til viltkjøtt. 90 poeng.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Intense red cherry colour, with aromas of red fruits and a fresh tone, the wine has good mouth feel, with a good structure.
Barahonda Organic Monastrell - Merlot is a red from Yecla, Spain.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 177 other reds from Spain, not against the corpus as a whole. 575 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 601 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 Organic Monastrell - Merlot 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 · España (178 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 575.
