The 2010 Inspiracion from Bodegas Valdemar is a blend of 80% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano, and 10% Maturana from Rioja. The fruit spends 10 months in 80% French and 20% American oak casks. It displays a dark and inky color. On the nose this is very expressive, with lots of ripe dark currant, blueberries, wild cherry, cassis, vanilla and tar followed by hints of tobacco, spring flowers and toasted oak. There are dense and dark fruits, with fresh acidity and mineral on the palate. Overall this is a full bodied and modern style red with a silky texture, good structure and a long dry finish. Drinking well today and can be enjoyed over the next 5-7 years. (Best 2015-2020) - November, 2015 (MD)
