Tasting profile
A rich, brooding Bordeaux-style blend showing black currant, cherry-plum, cedar, and licorice over sweet oak and a hint of spice, with fine, well-developed tannins and bright acidity holding it in elegant balance. Smooth and complex yet still youthful, it drinks as a flavoursome, full-rounded wine that rewards the price.

What reviewers say
“Harmonie du Soir 2013 still young in 2026, rich cherry plum and spice. Abundant acid remains while the tannins are fine and well developed”

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 Puriri Hills Harmonie du Soir 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 · New Zealand (238 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 68.
