Nose has incredibly aromatic blackberry/raspberry preserves, cherry liqueur, toasted anise seed, charred cedar, blackberry compote and faint wet peaty soil.
Palate has cherry jam, fig paste, old licorice candy, ripe black cherry, blueberry jam and grape Jolly Rancher candy. Fine tannins, but expect several years of life left here. In a fantastic spot this evening.
Decanted 5H at time of notes, continuing to evolve. 🥳 Enjoy 2024-28, from proper storage.
Paired with our Superbowl Sunday traditional feast, pulled pork. This year were going local (as always) with both pork shoulder and ham hocks from our bi-annual purchase of one-half piggy from Highland Farm (Old Chatham, NY); love your farmers! Shoulder was dry rubbed and rested, then into the slow cooker for 9H, talk about falling apart!
Pork shoulder and hocks for two...I pretty much know what my lunch is going to be for about the next two weeks. 😋
Go Bengals! 🐅
