Why This Score?

This wine's score of 66.5 is based on 1 community rating using Bayesian averaging, which prevents wines with very few ratings from ranking artificially high. Each score source is normalized to a common 100-point scale and weighted by the credibility and consistency of the publication. This gives you a single, reliable number that reflects the consensus of the global wine community.
