What reviewers say
“I think the coolest thing that could occur in the modern era is plopping down after a long day of work, mindlessly flipping stations in search of something simple, something you've seen a million times, like JAWS, and as determined great white approaches secluded Chief Brody, he …”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Cherry red in colour, with clean and attractive aromas, lots of fruit, jam and blackberries. It is intense and fruity in the mouth.
Vina Herminia Rioja Excelsus is a red from Rioja, Spain, blended from Grenache Noir, Garnacha and Tempranillo.
The cohort it is ranked inside holds 12 Spanish reds. The calibrated figure is built from 510 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 533 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.
- Global percentile
- Where Vina Herminia Rioja Excelsus 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 · Spagna (12 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 510.
