What reviewers say
“Well, maybe I just paired this with the perfect food, but I feel the average Vivino rating is too low! Deep and dense garnet in the glass. Elegant aromas of cigar box, cassis, and the subtlest hint of eucalyptus.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Attractive red-violet dark. Intense aromas of red fruits, blueberries, blackberries and sweet spices. Full palate, mouth full of fruit. Round, soft tannins and pleasant structure.

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 Valdivieso Winemaker Reserva 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 · Chile (444 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 493.
