“LBV con gran manifestación de Touriga Franca entre todo el mezclum de Touriga Nacional, Tinto Cão, Tinta Francisca, Amarela, Roriz, Sousão, etc. bajo D.O. Porto Douro. A la vista… picota con ribete violáceo. Capa media-alta. Buena lágrima. En nariz… Intensidad media. Joven.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
A complex aroma where red fruit notes are predominant, reminiscent of cherries and spices, with a peppery touch. A hint of dark chocolate. On the palate, it is greatly concentrated and full-bodied with firm tannins which at the same time are elegant and smooth. The great acidity provides freshness and balance to the wine. The finish is long and pleasant.

The calibrated figure is built from 2,236 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 2,272 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,421 other fortified wines from Portugal, not against the corpus as a whole.
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 Niepoort Late Bottled Vintage Port 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 · Portugal (1,422 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 2,236.
