What reviewers say
“71/100 Tasted at a local family friendly Italian restaurant, very weird to have an Italian waiter pushing an Australian Shiraz on offer. That's a citizenship revoking offense I am sure! Anyway ...”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Attractive smells of spicy blue plums, meaty paté, camphor and a sweet rocky road choc/marshmallow. Easy flavours of plum jam and red berry jus with delicate tannin.
Deakin Estate Shiraz is a red from Murray Darling, Australia, made from Shiraz Syrah.
The cohort it is ranked inside holds 517 Australian reds. The calibrated figure is built from 992 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 1,024 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead.
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 Deakin Estate Shiraz 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 · Australia (517 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 992.
