What reviewers say
“Eu já havia classificado esse vinho, mas na verdade a safra é diferente, mas fica junto, acho que já um probleminha no vivino com isso, tenho visto outros vinhos assim. Esse é bem diferente do 2016. Mas também bom. A cor dele na taça é linda, um violeta brilhante. Sabor de frutas vermelhas puxado para o sabor de terra. As lágrimas são intensas. O tanino é equilibrado. A durabilidade na boca é um tempo razoável. Gostei. Super oferta 20,00 no Paulistão. Vou buscar mais amanhã.”

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 Carta Vieja 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 · 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 2,069.
