What reviewers say
“A classic 10-Year-Old Sercial Madeira from Justino's! Pours a beautiful light brown. The nose opens with that signature, appealing varnish glue lift, quickly evolving into rich layers of toasted almond, caramel, nutty notes, and raisin.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Attractive and clean gold colour with matured rim. Delicate and complex nose with hints of dried fruits. Dry, crisp finish with hints of nuttiness and lingering soft fruits.

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 Sercial 10 Years Old 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 227.
