Tasting profile
A late-harvest Gewurztraminer praised for its balance: sweet but not cloying, with fruit, honey and cheese-friendly richness giving way to a clean mineral finish. Reviewers describe a velvety, harmonious nectar best paired with blue cheese.

Summary
Domaine Ostertag Fronholz Vendanges Tardives de Gewurztraminer is a dessert wine from Alsace, France.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 422 other dessert wines from France, not against the corpus as a whole. 191 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 196 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track.
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.

- 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 191.
