What reviewers say
“This is one of the 3 most modernised vineyards in the Paphos area of Cyprus. It's boutique, i.e. small, but the Yannoudi single varietal (red) v.v. well made, & unexpectedly delicious. On the nose rich cherry and chocolate with a hint of sweet herbs. On the palate at first a hit of dark fruit but not too ripe, with still young tannins still, in the 2023, but will develop smooth and well balanced; perfect minerality; mouthfeel is gorgeous and the alc at 13% makes it ideal in hot weather.”

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 Makarounas Boutique Winery Yiannoudi 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 · Cyprus (1 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 98.
