, A word from your sommelier

"The Drimia tripped you up. It always does. Petit Verdot at altitude reads younger than its vintage suggests , that's the trick of Yatir. Sara, your nose was sharp tonight. Maksim, you misread the Cave for the Lueria , same family, different houses. Pour again next month?"

CM
Carlos Mendoza, MS
Master Sommelier · Madrid

Three out of five.
And the Drimia is on you.

A respectable second place. Carlos was right , Petit Verdot at altitude tastes younger. You guessed Lueria when the answer was The Cave: same vineyard family, but a different terroir signature. Worth a return match.
