What reviewers say
“Has got the color and nose of a sauternes. Has aged very well and has a lot of acidity left on the palate. Some citrus, mango, grapefruit and tangerines. Wonderful surprise.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Dark red cherry in color. Complex and powerful nose. Perfume of dark red fruit, floral notes, cigar box and truffle. It shows a beautiful bouquet, remarkable intensity of fruit and impeccable balance.

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 Marqués de Murrieta Gran Reserva Rioja (Finca Ygay) 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 · Spain (435 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 3,295.
