Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Feb 15
The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Filo di Seta is quite a bit darker and richer through the mid-palate than the straight Brunello. Dark red cherry, spice, plum and leather notes are all quite vibrant in the glass. Racy and voluptuous, yet with plenty of underlying structure, the Filo di Seta impresses for its overall balance. Sweet floral and spiced notes add nuance on the super-expressive finish. This bold, vibrant Brunello will offer another 10-15 years of fine drinking.
