Vintages

Each vintage has its own page with both scores, the drinking window and the merchant price range. The meter is the score on a 60-100 scale and its colour is where that vintage stands against its own drinking window. Prices are per 75cl, with the case size and month they were taken from.

  • Window not recordedthe vintage carries no window, so the meter shows its score alone
