The bottle of the 2010 Culmen Reserva looks and weighs like a magnum, but its 750ml. It's a blend of Tempranillo with 15% Graciano, showing some surprising herbal aromas in an Atlantic way, mixed with ripe black fruit, plenty of incense, cigar ash, and cedar wood aromas giving it a modern/classical profile with a Mediterranean/Atlantic feeling. The palate is medium to full-bodied with quite a lot of acidity and fine-grained, slightly astringent tannins that might require time in bottle to integrate. 19,800 bottles produced.

Rich and racy, this bold red delivers kirsch, macerated blackberry, licorice and espresso flavors. A generous texture is supported by firm tannins and orange peel acidity. A big, modern style that maintains balance. Drink now through 2020. 1,500 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add
