What reviewers say
“A dull and darkened red in the glass but a bit stuffy in the nose to start, like a Lord with a cold. But there is plenty of liquorice and cherry on a smooth tongue. Leave it be for an hour and it will only get better. The legs are well apart for a wine of this potency but an amazing inky taste develops over time. Drink it with soft cheese and fall in love... Incessant Wining”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Empordàlia Sinols Negre is a Spanish red from Empordà.

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 Empordàlia Sinols Negre 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 · España (178 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 311.
