What reviewers say
“Esperao tinto is a blend of several indigenous and international varieties, aged 12 months in oak barrel. I love the ever changing art labels they put on their bottles. Tasted it in Lisbon this spring and took some bottles home. 1 hour in carafe. Deep purple.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Deep, dark red, opaque. Spicy red berry fruits with subtle oak complexity. Full bodied, textured palate, well structured tannins. Solid and dense with great potential for bottle maturation.

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 Esporão Esporão Reserva Tinto 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 · Portugal (351 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 15,305.
