  • 2005 Bodegas Valdemar (Martinez Bujanda) Rioja Inspiración - Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alta, Rioja (4/8/2008)
    90% Tempranillo and 10 % Graciano, aged for 9 months in French (75%) and American (25%) oak barrels. Clear, brilliant, dark ruby in color with a dark rose rim, showing clean, cherry and vanilla aromas on the nose. In the mouth, this wine an oaky bite right down the center of my palate, with find firm tannins that grip the side of my cheeks and medium acidity. Very delicate cherry flavors glide across my palate, leaving a silky, yet restrained finish. I’m hoping time will chill out this wine a bit, softening the rather sharp edges. 3.5/5

    Deep dark red color to this wine. Grape nose with some blue fruits, and nice smell of the barrel room without the overpowering oak. Almost creamy if that were a smell, and lush like a pillow. In the mouth the softness and creaminess continues with a really well balanced palate. Fine tannins and a medium acidity combine to leave a fresh and dry wine. Grape flavors come to mind again with some violet, herbal notes, and a soft well integrated oak. Nice middle of the road wine. 3.5/5
