What reviewers say
“Densa cor grená e aromas de frutas negras, ervas do bosque e madeira. Muitas lágrimas de pernas finas vertem pela parede da taça. Encorpado e alcoólico, bem seco, taninos presentes e final de longa permanência, com a leve acidez inicial dando lugar a notas de couro.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Deep ruby color. To the nose, we find red fruits like ripe plums, cherries and raspberries as well as a soft spicy feeling. On the palate, it is fresh and juicy, a unique balance between acidity, gentle tannins and alcohol. Long and delicate finish.

The calibrated figure is built from 4,603 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 4,736 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 481 other reds from Argentina, not against the corpus as a whole.
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 Caro (Catena and Rothschild) Aruma Malbec 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 · Argentina (482 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 4,603.
