Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The garnet-colored 2005 Inspiracion Valdemar was aged for nine months in French and American oak. It has a lovely perfume of cedar, cinnamon, vanilla, tobacco, and black cherry. Racy and elegant on the palate, it has excellent intensity, savory flavors, and good depth and length. Drink it over the next eight years.

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.
