What reviewers say
“This is a lovely wine, despite what other reviews say. Firstly the story is great. The wombat on the label was Orphaned and taken in by a zoo and looked after and taken around in a wheelbarrow, As the label shows. Mr Pat- had over 50,000 Facebook friends. Wow Now the nose on first hit was impressive- dark fruits and cherry. Palate is light but easy to drink. Soft tannic taste and a long finish. Great flavours of fruits and dark tobacco. Smokey aftertaste. Very enjoyable! Would have again!!”

Summary
Peculiar Mr Pat Merlot is an Australian red from South Eastern Australia.

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 Peculiar Mr Pat Merlot 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 114.
