What reviewers say
“Beautiful aromas and flavors of dried rose petals and dried red fruits. Wonderful balance of sweetness and acidity. Paired very well with a chocolate cake!”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
It is a deep ruby color. The nose is hints of cherry jam aromas of black cherry and plum notes of very ripe, spice chocolate, cocoa, and a wine of great finesse and aromatic complexity. The mouth and powerful, fat, sweet but never cloying, return hints of cherry, plum, cocoa and a slight mineral note and also a great balance between alcohol, sugar, acidity and tannin.

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.

- In-cohort percentile

- 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 101.
