Summary
From Jerez-Xérès-Sherry in Spain, Williams & Humbert Jalifa Amontillado Rare Old Dry Solera Especial Aged 30 Years is a fortified wine.
The calibrated figure is built from 180 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 183 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 128 other fortified wines from Spain, not against the corpus as a whole.
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.
