Tasting profile
A complex, full-bodied Encruzado with pronounced citrus and green apple, a creamy Chardonnay-like roundness, and petrol/terpene notes on the nose, finishing with bright acidity and a touch of salmiak bitterness. Reviewers call it one of Casa de Santar's finest, supple yet powerful, and a strong match for rich dishes like game and seafood rice.

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.

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 436.
