Tasting profile
A ripe, concentrated Cabernet Franc-led blend showing black and red fruit (cherry, plum, raspberry, cassis), cedar, graphite, smoke, dark chocolate and a touch of vanilla spice. Full-bodied and intense with sweet integrated tannins, balanced acidity and a long finish, drinking well now but built to age.
Synthesized from 930Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.
What reviewers say
“Great effort in an off year, ripe cherry, graphite, and a very light vegetal note. Tannins were completely integrated and smooth, and after an hour of decanting this was pretty fantastic.”

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 Le Dome Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 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 · France (1,134 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 930.
