What reviewers say
“Porto muito agradável harmonizado com mousse de baunilha. Ainda barbarizado pelos absurdos fascistas e racistas ocorridos no congresso nacional ontem, assim como o regime fascista da PM de SC contra a Transamerica CWB. Rubi denso com reflexos acastanhado, lágrimas finas.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Deep ruby-red colour, with garnet rim. Classic intense black fruit nose. Firm, vigorous, full-bodied palate, with powerful fruit flavours and a long finish.
Taylor's Select Reserve Port is a fortified wine from Porto, Portugal, blended from Touriga Francesa, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Cao.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,421 other fortified wines from Portugal, not against the corpus as a whole. The calibrated figure is built from 834 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 863 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead.
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 Taylor's Select Reserve 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 834.
