The 2005 Culto is a blend of 60% Tempranillo and 40% Graciano aged for 12 months in French and American oak. The bouquet exhibits earth, mineral and oak notes that overshadow the fruit aromas. On the palate plenty of spicy black fruit and herbal notes emerge along with some ripe tannin. Nicely balanced, it will continue to unwind over the next 2-3 years and show optimally from 2011 to 2020. Importer: Andres Arribas, Wine Associates, Inc., Whitehouse Station, NJ; tel. (908) 534-8946
