Tasting profile
A rich, full-bodied port layering vibrant red fruit and cassis with darker notes of plum, raisin, and ripe cherry, accented by caramel, butterscotch, and a hint of tobacco. Sweet but not syrupy, it finishes long, warming, and silky-smooth, drinking beautifully as a digestif after a meal.

Summary
Quarles Harris Vintage Port is a Portuguese fortified wine from Porto.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,421 other fortified wines from Portugal, not against the corpus as a whole. 135 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 137 reviewers with at least two ratings each 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 Quarles Harris 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 135.
