What reviewers say
“UNDERDOG - Argentina. A Kasteelbier glass is a very good beer glass to drink wine as it has the same shape as a good wine glass. The wine has a black colour with a red rim. Firstly, most eyecatching are the strong & even harsh tannins. Definitely needs air.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary

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.

- 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 3,706.
