Descriptors are drawn from a closed list of standard tasting words, most of them measured from what drinkers say about real wines; here they are a model's estimate, not counts of anything. Tannin is shown only for red wines.

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.

Price by vintage

One monthly median per vintage, divided by the case size it was quoted in, so the bars are the same unit. These are our own aggregates, not offers: nobody will sell you a median.

Solid: a realised in-bond trade

The Merle Riesling monthly median by vintage, per 75cl · Each bar is one month of one SKU; the table below names the case size, the tape and the month behind every figure. 3 vintages are priced in a case size the merchant did not state, so no per-bottle figure is drawn for them
