  Soft red fruit, no harsh edges, nice depth, many in the room didn't recognize it as a franc. We enjoyed before dinner with apps of bacon wrapped dates. In a very nice spot with probably a couple more years to go but very smooth and enjoyable now.

  Light and thin on tannins and complexity, yet at mid-palate, a whiff of some deeper fruit emerges. Would be an ok everyday wine, but not a good qpr.

  91 because it's a classy, quality well-made wine. Consumed via Coravin the first night and open glass the second. A very good, medium weight, and mouthfeel; with a medium punch of fruit and tannin. Very typical franc flavor profile. Very, very well done. Not an overly heavy burdensome exhibit of this varietal.

  Good to the last drop on days 1-4. Only one bottle left. I may save it for a while.

  Poured right into a Savino w/no aerator. Best on day 4. I would buy this again if I see it.
