Tasting profile
A big, bold, full-bodied Malbec with round, persistent tannins and a complexity that drinkers call monumental. Aromas of red fruit lead into a ripe, balanced palate where fruit and oak meet, drinking smoothly with real aging potential.

Summary
Enrique Foster Malbec Firmado is an Argentine red from Lujan de Cuyo.
The calibrated figure is built from 1,596 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 1,628 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. 481 other reds from Argentina form the cohort it is ranked inside.
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 Enrique Foster Malbec Firmado 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 · Argentina (482 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 1,596.
