What reviewers say
“@[1|2242828|Emcee] your Sherry lecture 📖 on the Riesling night worked😅 Here I am having this Fino as.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Aged in soleras for approximately 4 years, our fino sherry is a pale straw colour, with a delicate yet pungent almond aroma. It is not acidic and is very dry and light on the palate. It should be drunk at a temperature of between 4ºC and 7ºC, ideally with tapas, or to accompany shellfish, seafood, Spanish ham and mild cheese
Tio Pepe Palomino Fino Sherry (Muy Seco) is a fortified wine from Jerez-Xérès-Sherry, Spain.
The calibrated figure is built from 3,802 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 3,856 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 400 other fortified wines from Spain, not against the corpus as a whole.
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 Tio Pepe Palomino Fino Sherry (Muy Seco) 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 · Spain (401 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 3,802.
