Tasting profile
A deeply caramel-colored white port with pronounced sweetness balanced by oxidative complexity, layering notes of caramel, toasted nuts, and dried apricot with a hint of orange peel. Soft and remarkably fresh on the palate, it finishes long and nutty, pairing especially well with chocolate desserts.

Summary
From Porto in Portugal, Kopke Port 40 Years Old White is a fortified wine.
66 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 66 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,421 other fortified wines from Portugal, 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.
