What reviewers say
“Houd je van Bordeaux wijnen maar wil je eens iets anders, maar toch niet teveel afwijken van de normale keuze. Dan is deze Errazuriz Villa Don Maximiano echt iets om te proberen. Dit is een wijn die je allereerst echt zal moeten decanteren of laten luchten.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The wine displays fruit purity and intensity, yet it is distinctively focused. A rush of red fruit and floral notes rise from the glass. Once in the palate, notes of sour cherries plus fresh blueberries emerge. It is a very fruity and refreshing wine that has a seamless impression from beginning to end. Its tannins are firm and well structured, with a beautiful intensity and balance.
Errazuriz Villa Don Maximiano is a Chilean red from Aconcagua Valley. The blend is Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 443 other reds from Chile, not against the corpus as a whole. The calibrated figure is built from 452 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 456 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead.
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 Villa Don Maximiano 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 452.
