The 2008 Le Paturnie Brunello di Montalcino ‘ Riserva' is a terrific effort by Rosalba Vitanza. It is sweetly perfumed with aromas of cherries, plums, spices, hazelnut, tobacco and floral which come together beautifully in the glass. This possesses a beautiful silky texture that is layered, balanced and shows wonderful finesse. It’s all wrapped up with a soft caressing finish. This should hold up nicely for up to a decade, but it looks to already be hitting its stride. (Best 2014-2022) - April 2014 (JD)
