sound (on the nose)
Erika,
I can't believe it refers to a person (unless you provide the sentence, but I would say it's poorly written).
We often say "en nariz" or "en boca" after an adjective for the wine. Franco, as an adjective for a person, would mean "honest", nothing else.
Having said that, I've got references with definitions of both "franco" and "sound" for wine.
Sound: - Wine that is not spoiled or defective and does not have any inadequate smells or tastes. The term is usually applied to the olfactory phase. www.winesfromspain.com
Franco: Vino que no muestra poseer defectos en su aroma o sabor. http://www.saberdevinos.cl/html/glosario/cont_f.html

If you're possitive that "franco" refers to the tasters maybe a pun is intended.

You're right. "Clean" is perfect.

bold on the nose
Erika, sin contexto creo que esta es la respuesta. Se trata del vino mismo, no?
"1996 Chateau Liot, Sauternes - golden yellow color - very pretty looking in the class. Fruity nose - very concentrated and bold on the nose."
