Tasting profile
A full-bodied, sweet fortified wine with deep, velvety richness and ripe red fruit notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, prune and date, layered with chocolate, almond and creme brulee. Powerful yet round, with a long port-like finish driven by its high alcohol, and a natural match for chocolate.
Synthesized from 161Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.
What reviewers say
“Prune, dates, almond, plum and chocolate notes round out this vin doux that I must say took me by surprise. The finish reminds one a lot of an aged tawny due to the high abv. Worth the purchase”

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 Thunevin-Calvet Maury 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 · France (205 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 161.
