What a treat! This rare wine (can really only be purchased at a certain steak house in Chicago area) is a 40-30-20-10 blend of cab franc, merlot, petit verdot, and cab sauv, respectively. It is tannic and plumby, a little stemmy too. Nice tannic structure, and subtle tobacco and pepper notes. Solid yum!
