What reviewers say
“Great dried black fruit and leather on nose. Almost old work spice. Balanced, stimulating, and round, without being overly acidic or heavy. The blending is brilliant, and where many fail to create a working combinations of distinct flavors, Clay Shannon crafts a marriage of flavors familiar and yet unique. Far exceeded expectations after reading other reviews. plum blackberry forest hoisin dried apricot fig floor beef broth”

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 106.
