What reviewers say
“I did a tasting at my local independent wine shop this afternoon. This is my first orange wine, and the first thing to say is that it isn't particularly orange. Clearly I have nothing to judge orangeness by. Wow! What a smell. Aromatic. Vibrant. Peach sirop, almost confected or more likely beer as @[1|22932933|Ross Douglas] says. The beer I'm getting is Pêche Gueze. Hints of nuts and creamy vanilla as well. Heavy body, viscous, nutty creamy with lemon and grapefruit acidity lurking in background”

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 360.
