How to read this window

Before the window opens, the wine is in its youth: fruit dominates, tannins or acidity can feel stern. During the peak plateau, everything falls into balance: this is the moment ageing prepares. Beyond it, the wine slowly declines: nothing unsafe, but the emotion fades. These are general benchmarks for the appellation, not a verdict on your bottle.

Curious where these numbers come from? The method is published in full: from the estate down to the grape, then adjusted for the vintage and the bottle format.
