Tasting profile
A big, full-bodied Shiraz with luscious, jammy dark fruit and powerful alcohol, layered with rich chocolate, coffee, leather, and subtle French oak. Velvety and complex with well-rounded tannins, lingering Shiraz spice, and the structure to reward bottle age and decanting.
Synthesized from 33Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.
What reviewers say
“Lovers of the heaviest, jammy Shirazes will find this to their liking. Probably at its peak in 2017 so for drinking soon.”

Summary
From Adelaide Hills in Australia, Paracombe Somerville Shiraz is a red.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 516 other reds from Australia, not against the corpus as a whole. Only 33 of its Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 34 reviewers with at least two ratings feeds the raw-average track.
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 Paracombe Somerville Shiraz 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 · Australia (517 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 33.
