What reviewers say
“96pts. Um Tawny sensacional... mágico. Nectar na taça, persistente, licoroso com notas de mel, damasco e cereja. Final interminável. Recomendo muito!”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
It has great aromatic presence, with notes of coffee, dry fruits, spices, honey – in a complex and refined set. Mighty mouth, but at the same time elegant, in a set that conjugates energy and class, with a finish full of claw, interm.
Burmester Tordiz 40 Year Old Tawny Port is a fortified wine from Porto, Portugal, blended from Touriga Franca, Tinto Cao, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca and Touriga Nacional.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,421 other fortified wines from Portugal, not against the corpus as a whole. The calibrated figure is built from 188 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 194 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead.
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 Burmester Tordiz 40 Year Old Tawny Port 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 Fortified · Portugal (1,422 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 188.
