From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
This wine is very attractive and complex in nose, with an expression of red and black fruits, such as raspberries and blueberries, soft hints of violets and a subtle touch of black olives, all tightly knit with sweet spices that come from its aging in oak. The palate matches the nose with flavours that recall ripe black fruits, cinnamon, nutmeg and caramel, all along a fresh acidity.
From Aconcagua Valley in Chile, Errazuriz Max Reserva Syrah is a red. It is made from Shiraz Syrah.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 443 other reds from Chile, not against the corpus as a whole. 1,086 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 1,126 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.
- Global percentile
- Where Errazuriz Max Reserva Syrah 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 · Chile (444 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 1,086.
