What to drink now
Across the 48 most traded wines we track, 950 vintages sit inside some drinking window. Most of those windows carry no stated source, so this page keeps two things apart: the wines a named critic says are ready, and the wines our own estimate puts inside their window. Only the first is a recommendation.

Our estimate says these are in their window
Nobody has published a window for these. The years below are ours, and each bar says what it was built from. Treat them as a prompt to check the bottle, not as a verdict.
Every wine we checked this cycle turned out to have a published window, so there is nothing here that rests on our estimate alone.
