What reviewers say
“Ja dit zo’n prima zware wijn. De wijn is wel zwaar maar niet het zwaarste wat ik heb gedronken. Dit is ook gewoon lekker op de zomeravond. Met een lekkere temperatuur in de late avond drinkt het gewoon lekker weg. @Willem Van De Slager was hier ook positief over.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
It has ruby red with flashes of garnet full-bodied, dry and nicely balanced, flaunting intrinsic elegance and structure as the grassiness of the Cabernet melds with a restrained oak-derived after-aroma broad, estery and assertive with a characteristic slightly herbaceous note prevailing and attractive tarry sensations

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 Sella & Mosca Tanca Farra Alghero 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 · Italia (235 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 1,609.
