Tasting profile
A structured, full-bodied Margaux showing red fruit aromas (strawberry and wild berries) alongside tobacco and integrated cabernet character, with balanced acidity and alcohol and tannins that remain firm but are softening with age. Reviewers describe it as smooth, persistent, and age-worthy, drinking well now but with clear potential to develop further.

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.

- 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 11,393.
