What reviewers say
“Minha mae disse hoje... "um dos melhores vinhos que já tomei". Tão bom ver um vinho causando reações assim. Fat Bastard Syrah é um velho conhecido! Tomei algumas garrafas nos EUA na época de faculdade e depois de todos esses anos (lá se vão 20+ anos!), me deparo com ele de novo na Wine.com. Super recomendo (apesar do preço). É pra mim um vinho espetacular e versátil. Super saboroso. Taninos na medida certa. Álcool na medida certa. Comprarei de novo quando achá-lo em algum kit promocional.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Dark ruby in color with vibrant purple reflections. The nose displays a spicy, yet fresh profile containing tinges of olive, clove and sweet blueberry while the palate exhibits a robust body and invigorating flavors of paprika, tobacco, and peony.
Fat Bastard (Thierry & Guy) Syrah is Shiraz Syrah grown in Pays d'Oc, bottled as a red. At $14.95 for the lowest 750 ml listing, it belongs to the under $15 band.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,133 other reds from France, not against the corpus as a whole. The calibrated figure is built from 1,556 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 1,595 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 Fat Bastard (Thierry & Guy) 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 · France (1,134 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 1,556.
