A Priorat-inspired blend of 40% Grenache, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 27% Syrah, the 2016 Inspiracion comes all from the estate l’Aventure vineyard and was aged 14 months in 40% new French oak, with 20% of the blend brought up in amphora. It boasts a deep purple color as well as a big perfume of blue fruits, liquid violets, damp herbs, and earth, with just a hint of chocolate. Deep, rounded, and opulent on the palate, , with some aggressive tannins that need a year or two of bottle age, it’s another terrific wine from Asseo that will keep for 10-15 years.
