Tasting profile
An oxidative, French-styled Rioja white of old-gold color, oily and honeyed on the palate with nutty, sesame aromatics giving way to bright citrus, lemon peel, grapefruit and stone fruit. Reviewers call it remarkably complex, balanced and fresh for its age, with an exceptionally long finish.
Synthesized from 121Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.

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.

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.
