What reviewers say
“Provencal style. Merlot with Agiorgitiko & Grenache. Pale salmon pink. Rich, inviting and intensive nose displays scents of red cherries, strawberries, floral tones, hints of verbena and grapefruit.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Exceptionally bright and a light colour between light rosy and salmon. Lively nose reminiscent primarily of red fruit like strawberry and cherry, with a hint of lemon verbena and an almost imperceptible presence of spices. Elegance and finesse with a refreshing acidity which balances the alcohol creating a sense of harmony rounded up with a pleasant fruity finish.
Costa Lazaridi Merlot Rosé is a rosé from Drama, Greece.
751 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 800 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 95 other rosés from Greece, 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 Costa Lazaridi Merlot Rosé 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 Rosé · Greece (96 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 751.
