Which Cleistocactus might this be?

Question

I purchased this beauty a short time ago and have been unable to ID it as yet. Anyone know which cactus this is?

Cactus Pic Here is a photo of the top which looks like the Epostoa Lanata Top View Pic http://Selva.Cabal.mx/Pic5.jpg

I think it's Espostoa lanata, though I can't really tell if there's a bit of a tuft at the top - the top view of a cactus is quite important for ID purposes, but there's a pic here http://www.cactus-art.biz/schede/ESPOSTOA/Espostoa_lanata/Espostoa_lanata/Espostoa_lanata.htm

Bamboo

I added a top view which seems to verify your suggestion, what do you think – Richard Couture Dec 01 '16 at 01:21
@RichardCouture yep, I reckon so... – Bamboo Dec 01 '16 at 02:49
Seems to match E. lanata. I'm confused though, is that a name label just to the left of the plant? The O. macrodysis to the right is labeled. – Tim Nevins Jan 25 '19 at 13:03
