What reviewers say
“Mmmmmmaury :) it's just perfect with chocolate_ (sorry, I don't want vivino to think it tastes of chocolate_, thus the "_") I think it might in a class by it self. Not that it's not spectacular.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The deep ruby robe matches the bouquet of red and black berries. More-ish on the palate, very elegant, moves to flavours of burlat cherry. Food pairing This fleshy, yet refreshing, fruity wine is a perfect match for red fruit or chocolate desserts. It is a seductive, pure Grenache varietal that also pairs well with sweet and sour dishes. __ A composed and harmonious interior of sweet and savoury enclosed within a modern, art deco exterior that is both functional and decadent at the same time. Luxurious black forest gateau fills the room, whilst mint leaf, raisin and parma violets swoop in on the tailcoats of a mineral streak to complete this delectable mash-up, before ending in a refreshing sour cherry finish. Another glass, you say?
Mas Amiel Vintage is a French fortified wine from Maury. It sits in the $30–60 band, on a lowest observed 750 ml price of $45.65. The grape is Grenache Noir.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 204 other fortified wines from France, not against the corpus as a whole. The calibrated figure is built from 1,495 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 1,562 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead.
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 Mas Amiel Vintage 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 · France (205 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 1,495.
