What reviewers say
“Soy fan de Carmeneres chilenos, me gustan porque el pimiento es un registro guardado en el paladar guatemalteco (nuestra gastronomía está impregnada de pimiento y es como una comida confort).”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
This wine has a deep ruby colour with intense aromas of ripe blackberries, pie cherry flavours, rhubarb, olives, raspberries, soft chocolate, touch of vanilla and peppery notes. It has elegant oak and spicy hints, with a good balance. Dark chocolate and mint character on the palate.
Carmen Carmenère is a red from Central Valley, Chile, made from Carmenere.
The calibrated figure is built from 2,800 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 2,908 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. The cohort it is ranked inside holds 444 Chilean reds.
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 Carmen Carmenère 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 · Chile (444 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 2,800.
