What reviewers say
“3.9pts. Kilikanoon Killerman's Run Shiraz 2020. The name “Killerman’s Run” pays homage to a character named Mr. Killerman, who lived alone in a humble tin shed in the hills behind the Kilikanoon Cellar Door.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Fleshy and textural on the palate with hints of cola, blackberries and sweet plums dominating the flavour profile. Fine tannins and subtle French oak char rounding out the long expressive finish.
Kilikanoon Killerman's Run Shiraz is an Australian red from Clare Valley. The grape is Shiraz Syrah.
The calibrated figure is built from 2,467 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 2,563 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 516 other reds from Australia, 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.
- Global percentile
- Where Kilikanoon Killerman's Run Shiraz 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 2,467.
