From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Translucent garnet in color with a purple edge, the wine resonates with deep earthy aromas of iron, graphite and red clay. Intertwined there are layers of prunes, ripe persimmon and redcurrant jelly and sweet spice providing a clove and vanilla lift. Ripe but firm structure anchors the earthy, savoury elements that transcend into the palate. The wine finishes in a drawn out dance between the lifted aromatics and clay like tannin.

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 Tinto 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 2,128.
