What reviewers say
“Dark, dark ruby red that leaves the glass slightly colored with awesome wine tears. Plum jam, a bit overcooked fruit aromas with fully developed tertiary aromas. Also earthy with bits of mushroom gassiness and milky butter.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Bovin Cabernet Sauvignon is a red from Tikveš, North Macedonia.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 2 other reds from North Macedonia, not against the corpus as a whole. 233 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 240 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 Bovin Cabernet Sauvignon 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 · North Macedonia (3 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 233.
