What reviewers say
“Gostei muito desse monovarietal chileno. Eu nunca acreditei muito que a Carménère desse vinhos mais robustos e aveludados, mas esse Carta Vieja me desmentiu. Uma bebida elegante, com corpo médio+, bastante madeira e final longo. Taninos domados (provavelmente pela madeira) e, no nariz, um bouquet maravilhoso de frutas vermelhas bem maduras, frutas negras, baunilha e mel.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
It has deep red with violet tints. Intense aromas of cherries and black plums accompanied with smoky and spicy notes. Flavors of black fruits, black pepper and bitter chocolate. It is soft and persistent on the palate with delicate and ripe tannins .

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 Carmenère Limited Release 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 165.
