What reviewers say
“Had this logged in my Vivino "cellar" as being a Brut, and was rather critical in my previous review of the Brut. However, to my delight, the bottle that I actually have is not a Brut, but a Semi-Sec. Bonus! Something new to enjoy!”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
From Cava in Spain, Codorníu Clasico Cava Semi Seco is a sparkling wine. It blends Xarello and Macabeo.
301 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 306 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 302 other sparkling wines from Spain, not against the corpus as a whole.
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 Codorníu Clasico Cava Semi Seco 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 Sparkling · Spain (303 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 301.
