  Drinking excellent. Consumed at wine party with 7 other bottles. Would say this was 1 or 2 on everyone’s list. It’s a stronger franc, maybe because of age. Nice leathery taste with a little spice and great aftertaste. I have 2 more, will be good for a few more years…

  Hooked up to a nitrogen canister and decanted half the bottle, reserving the balance for another day. 90 mins after decanting this comes across like one of their cabs, with heavy mountainous notes. This is matched on the palate, however the wine is tight and primal with some predictable green notes. The green is largely gone after 2.5 hrs in the decanter.
  
  I’ve only got one more of these and will seek to grab a few more the next time we’re on Spring Mtn, as this has a solid 6-10 years ahead of it

  Shared at Grasso’s steak fry. Tasted with 3 cabs. All great, but the Franc flavor stood out. Keenan does an awesome Franc.

  Pop and pour, and handicapped following a HSS. Green on the nose as expected. Finish is greener than I’d prefer, as was the finish. However solid qpr & 35

  Still too young. Aerated but even 90 mins wasn’t nearly enough air. While I have high hopes, just too tight and tannic to rate at this point. Retry in another 6+ months
