What reviewers say
“2011 Jahrgang. Exellent, historische Jg.Cabernet Sauvignon 88%, Cabernet Franc 10%, Merlot 2%. Vollmundig, komplex, kräftig, tanninreich. Volle Intensität, Druck und Frische zugleich. Cassis eher im Hintergrund, viel mehr von der satten schwarzkirschigen Süße.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.

On the palate, the tannins appear mature and melted, revealing a strong and affirmed structure, a surprising suppleness, perfect harmony and long persistency.

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 5,550.
