Note: I use the recommended scale, 85-90 = very good wine.
I will note at the outset that I am not a big fan of Brunello. Just my preference. Very tasty bottle of wine. Not quite as good as the bottle in 2014, but still worth drinking. :-)

This 2001 Camigliano Brunello di Montalcino was popped and poured. It had a deep, inky color with bricking at the edges. It took five minutes for the mustiness to blow off, and another 15 minutes to fully open. And then it was a delicious, glorious older Brunello, with sweet dark fruit and dried herb fragrances, a sweetish mid-palate, nice acidity, very gentle tannins, and a smooth, silky finish. It is a very nice wine for pan-roasted chicken and vegetables, and has a good QPR.

Still enjoyable supported by its acidity. Very good.

Obviously passed its drinking window and oxidised

Tight at first. Nice "old" brunello with the right character.
