What reviewers say
“Dinner at my parents with their shiraz loving neighbours, so I brought along something a little different. This Heathcote syrah is from Alain Graillot, the northern Rhone rockstar, and he brings a new take on what can be produced locally.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Floral and fruit-saturated aromatics and texture and terrific depth of flavour. Fulsome dark cherry fruits combine with a distinctive ‘Graillot’ core of bay leaf, spice, anise, graphite, backed up by a savoury, structured backbone and fine, racy freshness. The palate is deeper yet at the same time more tapered.
Graillot Syrah is an Australian red made from Shiraz Syrah. The vineyard region is Heathcote, Australia.
62 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 62 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside holds 517 Australian reds.
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 Graillot 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 · Australia (517 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 62.
