Rated 92 - The 2005 Culmen Reserva, made only in the best vintages, is 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano sourced from a single vineyard with vine age ranging from 40-60 years. It was aged for 20 months in new French oak followed by an additional 18 months in bottle. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it proffers a brooding bouquet of sandalwood, Asian spices, lavender, espresso, and assorted black fruits. Ripe and sweetly fruited, it admirably combines power with elegance. Drink this lengthy offering from 2015 to 2030. - Robert Parker. - Bodegas Lan Rioja Culmen Reserva 2005 750ml - Rioja |
