What reviewers say
“Surpreendente, potente, redondo e maravilhoso. Ate 2003 esse vinho não era caro. Hoje o preço ficou bem elevado, mas ainda vale a pena.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Dark, brooding, stone fruit aromas of plums and prunes with a touch of toasty oak. Seamless palate with layers of fruits. Sweet and silky, nicely textured, full-bodied, densely flavoured with fine and supple tannins on the finish.
From Alentejano in Portugal, Cortes de Cima Incógnito is a red. It is made from Shiraz Syrah.
1,424 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 1,464 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. 350 other reds from Portugal form the cohort it is ranked inside.
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 Cortes de Cima Incógnito 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 · Portugal (351 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 1,424.
