What reviewers say
“🇬🇷 I follow the distributor @[1|4642666|Yiannis Mylothridis]' opinion. This Greek blend from Thessaly begins to show some slight fatigue after 13 years bottle aging. But nonetheless still very enjoyable! 🍇 Merlot, Syrah & CS; Aged 12 months in oak casks.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The red wine of the range is produced from low-yield grapes of the international varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Well ripened grapes are vinified under controlled conditions following an aging process in French and American oak barriques for 12 months. The result is a wine with intense aromas of red fruits, spicy aromas of vanilla and black pepper, velvet palate and a pleasant aftertaste. It pairs well with red meat, charcuterie and spicy cheese dishes.
Tsililis Askitikos Red is a red from Meteora, Greece. It blends Shiraz Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
4 other reds from Greece form the cohort it is ranked inside. 91 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 94 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track.
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 Tsililis Askitikos Red 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 · Grèce (5 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 91.
