It's both, an absolute comparative (= a superlative), and a non-comparative, normal adjective (= excellent).
I don't know why, but it's the definition given in dictionaries, excellent, and the best, even if intuitively it should be only "the best".
I'll make some searches about it, but if someone knows why, I'll be happy to have an explanation.
