What reviewers say
“A Marmite wine - Chris thought the bitterness too dominant and gave it a 3, while I thought it a low-key, attractive component and gave it 4.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Intense cherry red colour, deep, bright, attractive with good tear and beautiful presentation. Clean aroma, of remarkable intensity where seamlessly integrated the feelings of a quality source grape and the contributions of modern and adequate ageing. Presence of ripe red fruit (blackberry, cherries in liquor) accompanied by spicy and balsamic aromas, scrub, leather and liquorice. Soft and velvety, with elegant and harmonious tannin, warm but balanced wine with a fair and refreshing acidity, well integrated and with a persistent and intense finish.

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 Finca Bacara Time Waits For No One (Black Label) 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 · Espanha (32 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 256.
