How this score is built

Fictional sample profile. Not a real bottle.

Green almond, thyme, and a moderate close. One of the sample medals is from 2024, so the recency coefficient trims it before the average is taken.

Questions about this score

How was Cobrançosa Reserva scored?

The sample score 50.3 uses scoring version 1.0.0 for ranking year 2026. Award points are medal × prestige × recency, the competition score is the mean of the highest three, and the laboratory is 30% of the final score when a panel exists. The rows above are the whole calculation.

Is Cobrançosa Reserva a real competition result?

No. Cobrançosa Reserva, its medals, its laboratory values, and its prices are sample records created to show the page. They are not official results from any competition.

Do the polyphenols decide the rank?

They are 40% of the laboratory score, and the laboratory is 30% of the final score when a panel exists. A high polyphenol oil with a thinner medal record stays behind a stronger set of medals. If there is no panel, polyphenols do not enter at all.
