What reviewers say
“De color rojo picota con ribete y tonalidades púrpura brillante, cuerpo medio y limpio. En nariz, aromas intensos de frutos rojos: cereza, mora, ciruela, y aromas secundarios de chocolate y al final un toque de madera (roble). En boca su sabor es agradable y frutal con taninos suaves que hacen que el paso por el paladar sea rico y se perciba el sabor de chocolate y un ligero sabor a menta para un final medio, equilibrado. Un vino fácil de tomar y de buena relación precio-calidad.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The colour is dense and deep with attractive, vivid red highlights. The nose opens immediately on the red fruit, cherry and raspberry aromas so typical of Merlot, enhanced by touches of spice that reflect its Mediterranean origins. Round on the palate, it wraps a full body around silky tannins, striking a fine balance between well-integrated structure and variegated flavours of morello cherry and blackberry with a hint of liquorice. The smooth finish, long and fresh, gives this very pleasant Merlot great character.

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 Baron Philippe de Rothschild 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 · Frankreich (147 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 1,046.
