What reviewers say
“MST49#2 Back in business met de 2e wijn uit deze door @[1|4008188|Eline Hanrath] georganiseerde box. Alicante Bouschet is de druif, een teinturier dus met rood vruchtvlees. Wordt vnl. in blends gebruikt vanwege de donkere kleur en ik ken hem vooral uit Portugese blends.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Clean and bright, intense and bright cherry red color. intense red fruit reminiscent of fresh strawberries with cream and vanilla notes, intense but silky mouth and pleasant finish making it the perfect place for any kind of Mediterranean food supplement, especially rice, cheese and meat aromas.
Bodegas Arraez Bala Perdida Alicante Bouschet is a Spanish red made from Garnacha. The cheapest 750 ml listing found for it is $6.35, which puts the bottle in the under $15 band. It comes from Alicante, in Spain.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 95 other reds from Spain, not against the corpus as a whole. 779 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 810 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 Bodegas Arraez Bala Perdida Alicante Bouschet 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 · Spanien (96 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 779.
