Tasting profile
A rare Montilla-made Palo Cortado from Pedro Ximenez, showing an amber-orange color with aromas of hazelnut, fried almond, orange peel, wax, fig and yeast. Elegant and concentrated with bright, lively acidity, a slightly unctuous mouthfeel, notes of lemon rind and saline minerality, finishing long and clean.

Summary
From Jerez-Xérès-Sherry in Spain, La Inglesa Palo Cortado is a fortified wine.
Only 22 of its Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 23 reviewers with at least two ratings feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside holds 129 Spanish fortified wines.
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 La Inglesa Palo Cortado 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 · Espagne (129 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 22.
