What reviewers say
“20260205: Antinori Days 2026 One of the greatest discoveries at Antinori Days, this wine offers outstanding value. Deep ruby with purple hues, the nose opens on ripe black and red berries, currant and raspberry, followed by Mediterranean herbs, rosemary, mint, cocoa and subtle liquorice. The palate is fresh, silky and well balanced, with fine tannins and juicy fruit. The finish is persistent and savory. Versatile and approachable, it has real potential as a daily wine. Anytime 😉.”

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 Tenuta Bocca di Lupo Locone Castel del Monte Cabernet 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 85.
