What reviewers say
“Una riqueza en nariz, compota de frutas rojas, especies. En boca, es aun mas complejo y largo. Notas de ciruelas, grosella y cereza negra; tonos de clavo y cacao. Toda una experiencia....”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Intense cherry red color with violet hues. Aroma of ripe fruit, with fine notes of parenting and a spicy background. The palate is fresh, round, with polished tannins that give silkiness. It is an elegant, balanced, long and very good capacity for aging wine.
Castillo Perelada Empordà Gran Claustro is a Spanish red from Empordà. The blend is Cabernet Sauvignon, Samso and Shiraz Syrah.
The calibrated figure is built from 329 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 336 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. 434 other reds from Spain form the cohort it is ranked inside.
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 Perelada Empordà Gran Claustro 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 329.
