, 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.
