Tasting profile
A complex, elegant amontillado with a mahogany-amber color and oxidative character shaped by 35 years in solera, showing notes of walnut, dried apricot, raisin, tobacco, and orange marmalade. Bone-dry, mineral, and savory with a long, umami-driven finish and remarkable finesse.

Summary
Toro Albalá Poley Amontillado en Rama Solera 35 Años is a fortified wine from Montilla-Moriles, Spain.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 66 other fortified wines from Spain, not against the corpus as a whole. The calibrated figure is built from 52 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 52 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.

- 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 52.
