What reviewers say
“Cor rubi intensa e nariz muito frutado com bastante fruta vermelha onde se sobressai cereja e amora mas com uma mineralidade que me fez lembrar um mel com aquele adocicado um pouco "salgado". Na boca taninos e acidez bastante equilibrados e mais uma explosão de frutas e notas doces eu não sei mas continuei a sentir um sabor a mel bastante agradável que vem acompanhado de um final maravilhoso, adocicado mas não enjoativo. Belo vinho, vale a pontuação e o menos de 4€ que paguei!”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.

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 Caves Velhas Casaleiro Colheita Seleccionada Tinto 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 · Portugal (351 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 423.
