Solid showing. Limited sediment with floral aroma upon opening. Improved with decant and refrigeration for a week. Smooth tannins. Surprisingly enjoyable considering Ladera is not a well-known producer.

Italian Bordeaux! Really enjoy this very special CAB blend aged for 20 years. Earthy with immediate floral. Decants quickly but even better after a week in the fridge. Smooth tannin. Luscious dark plum and cherry. Will continue to enjoy for a long time.

Takes time to open and the cork literally crumbled into a zillion parts. BUT luscious dark cherry awaited some patience and it absolutely improved with decant. It’s certainly a long time in waiting (25+ years) but worth the Journey.
