Wednesday, July 1, 2015 - 2001: A Wine Odyssey — Berserker Offline @ The Palace (The Palace Steakhouse, SF): Summary:
A delicious savory, ripe Brunello showing signs of development and the structure to continue on for many years.

Score: Between 8.5 and 9.

Visual:
Medium-plus ruby, moderate plus concentration.

Nose:
Clean, moderate intensity nose of bloody red fruit, savory tomato, a hint of barnyard, and secondaries of incense, anise, fennel, black liquorice, and mushroom. No evidence of oak.
Definitely showing signs of maturation, and some complexity.

Palate:
Medium body, moderate alcohol, savory red fruit with a mushroomy quality in the midpalate. Acid is just elevated, tannins are elevated. Delicious.
