What reviewers say
“Belle robe rouge rubis harmonieuse et profonde. Nez complexe mêlant de belles notes fruitées (cerise griotte, groseilles, sucrées et acidulées), et des notes épicées (vanille, tabac chaud...).”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Very intense ruby color, The nose is intensely spicy, with aromas of Morello cherry. In the mouth, the wine’s beautiful structure displays great aromatic complexity, combining black fruit and spices. Mature bouquet of leather, smoked meat and plums, the palate supple, savoury and full flavoured with plenty of notes of mature prunes and blackcurrants.

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 Château Fabre Gasparets Boutenac 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 · Francia (72 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 557.
