What reviewers say
“Deze Montepulciano was een aangename verrassing voor me. Ingezet tijdens diner met @[1|11561782|Abhi Diwale], @[1|63111298|Petra Miltenburg] en anderen. In de neus donkere kersen, bosbessen, eikenhout en rook. Bij het proeven daarnaast ook duidelijk tonen van drop en chocolade. Zachte wijn die ook bij de dames goed in de smaak viel. Medium+ body en medium zuurgraad. Zijdezachte tannines. De afdronk is medium+ met donker fruit en drop. Voor minder dan 9 Euro heeft deze wijn een geweldige PQR!”

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 Fiamme Nere Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva 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 · Italien (289 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 488.
