What reviewers say
“Je m’attendais à devoir carafer le vin mais il n’en était rien. C’est d’abord un jus gourmand qui s’impose en début de dégustation. Ensuite, quand la bouteille s’ouvre, le vin se complexifie. L’épice se distingue nettement (girofle, réglisse notamment).”

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.
