Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2007 Inspiracion Valdemar is a blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano that was aged in French and American oak for 10 months. Dark ruby in color, it reveals an attractive nose of smoke, leather, spice box, black cherry, and blackberry. In the mouth it has good volume and concentration, plenty of spicy fruit, good balance, and a medium-long finish.

Hailed as the star red variety in Spain’s most celebrated wine region, Tempranillo from Rioja, or simply labeled, “Rioja,” produces elegant wines with complex notes of red and black fruit, crushed rock, leather, toast and tobacco, whose best examples are fully capable of decades of improvement in the cellar.
Rioja wines are typically a blend of fruit from its three sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental, although specific sub-region (zonas), village (municipios) and vineyard (viñedo singular) wines can now be labeled. Rioja Alta and Alavesa, at the highest elevations, are considered to be the source of the brightest, most elegant fruit, while grapes from the warmer and drier, Rioja Oriental, produce wines with deep color, great body and richness.
