From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Its appearance is notable for its lively blue tinge on the rim, denoting its youth. A good robe, reddish-purple in colour. The nose is intense with aromas of ripe red fruits and notes of ground black pepper while the palate is notably silky and velvety with a strong tannin structure. An oily, unctuous mid palate gives way to a long finish.

Its in-cohort standing is measured against 434 other reds from Spain, not against the corpus as a whole.
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 1,714.
