What reviewers say
“Det kan godt være, at The Dead Arm er min all-time favourite vin fra Arenberg, men den får altså hård konkurrence fra denne Pinot Noir fra Adelaide Hills. Fantatisk i både duft og smag - også med den helt rigtige lidt brune/orange og helt klare transparente farve.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
It has fresh strawberry and raspberry notes waft from the glass with another layer of earthy leafiness revealed as the wine opens up. The palate is packed with fruits of the forest which are harmoniously balanced by more complex layers of cocoa powder, damp earth, white pepper and a subtle cigar box characters. The tannins are vibrant and fine, lingering for a long time with traces of ripe strawberry clinging willfully to them.
d'Arenberg The Feral Fox Pinot Noir is an Australian red from Adelaide Hills.
298 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 305 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside holds 22 Australian reds.
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 d'Arenberg The Feral Fox Pinot Noir 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 · Australien (22 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 298.
