What reviewers say
“🇦🇷 Tilia (uva Malbec) de la región de Mendoza, Argentina 🐙 De color rojo rubí, más inclinado a teja y muy oscuro. Intenso a la vista. 🥩 Aroma: nariz intensa, muchos frutos silvestres, chocolatoso, madera, paso por barrica, ciruela, mora. 👄 Seco, acidez media-alta hay buena salivación, taninos fuertes pero no tan agresivos. Medio cuerpo y permanencia media. 🍖 Definitivamente va a maridar con una pasta con mucha carne, empanadas, lasagna, rib eye, para que corte con la grasa. Me gustó mucho!”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The nose is full of ripe black fruits with subtle notes of clove, black pepper, and sweet tobacco. On the palate, flavors of black raspberries and cassis yield to more subtle notes of cedar, vanilla, and sweet spice. The fine-grained tannins lend structure to the wine, which has a soft, lingering finish.

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 Tilia Cabernet Sauvignon 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 · Argentina (482 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 650.
