What reviewers say
“Spice, leather, oak, vanilla on the nose with hints of dark cherry, plum, a little bit dusty Same flavors on the palate and then the fruit comes through, vanilla on the finish. The finish lingers. It will open up a bit more soon and then the food!”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
From Rioja Alta in Spain, Castillo de Epifanía Reserva is a red. It is made from Tempranillo.
115 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 115 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside holds 435 Spanish reds.
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 Castillo de Epifanía Reserva 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 · Spain (435 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 115.
