What reviewers say
“What a tremendous surprise this Argentine Malbec from Luján de Cuyo, fully alive after 19 years! Pure aromatic expression, ripe notes of cherry jam, leather, roasted coffee, wood toast and balsamic! Tasted at last Saturday's Showtime meeting (22/10/2022)!”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Luigi Bosca Malbec is an intense purple colour wine, with distinct aromas of ripe red fruits, spices and black pepper. The intensity of the entry in the mouth is complemented with the softness and sweetness of tannins. A pure, full-bodied, well-structured red wine with character and all the juiciness typical of this variety. A long lingering and elegant finish.
Luigi Bosca Malbec is an Argentine red from Mendoza. It sits in the $15–30 band, on a lowest observed 750 ml price of $17.21.
22,709 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 23,843 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. 481 other reds from Argentina form the cohort it is ranked inside.
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 Luigi Bosca Malbec 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 · Argentina (482 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 22,709.
