Tasting profile
A sweet, moelleux late-harvest Gewurztraminer showing lychee, peach, apricot, mandarin and marmalade alongside caramel, lemon curd and toffee notes, with a fresh fruity nose and bright acidity keeping it light-bodied and fine on the palate. Reviewers call it complex yet great value, pairing especially well with foie gras and Munster.

Summary
From Alsace in France, Frey-Sohler Vendanges Tardives Gewürztraminer is a dessert wine.
Only 27 of its Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 28 reviewers with at least two ratings feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside holds 423 French dessert wines.
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.

- 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 27.
