What reviewers say
“Informal mixed bag wine tasting event in Oslo. Not enough time for detailed tasting notes. Ripe dark fruit, black cherry, blackberry, blueberry and bramble. Ripe red fruit of cherry and crackeling berries. Great fruit quality.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
A very deep, inky red with rustic, meaty, earthy scents on the nose along with a streak of violets and ripe, red fruit. The palate, mirroring the nose, is suggestive of violets and bright fruit but also something earthy and meaty. Beautifully balanced with brisk acidity, seductive fruit, and prominent but delicate tannins.
Domaine du Tunnel Saint-Joseph is a red from Saint-Joseph, France. At $62.69 for the lowest 750 ml listing, it belongs to the $60–120 band. It is made from Shiraz Syrah.
355 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 365 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside holds 1,134 French 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 Domaine du Tunnel Saint-Joseph 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 · France (1,134 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 355.
