Tasting profile
A profoundly complex fortified Madeira with copper-amber color and aromas of caramel, smoke, aged rum, and dried nuts, leading to a palate of pear, walnut, cherry, chocolate, and butter biscuit. Dry yet generous, with high alcohol, remarkable acidity, and a long, balanced finish.
Synthesized from 63Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.
What reviewers say
“(97/100) Data provável entre 1850 e 1890. Está soberbo. Como diz o confrade Paulo Henriques, com quem tive o prazer de o degustar, um vinho indestrutível!”

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 Justino's Madeira Colheita Sercial Madeira 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 Fortified · Portugal (1,422 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 63.
