This went through stages of being outright tannic to being soft and fruit forward. Lots of development. Started out with hard saline and stony structure with just whiffs of fruit. After several hours the structure backs off and a beautiful voilet aroma stands out. Deep, dark fruit, spice, celery salt, and stones all mingling beautifully. An enigma of a Beaujolais. — 10 years ago

Love this wine - it is an enigma! Makes me want to drink more from Ciro. Light and translucent, glossy purple, depth develops over the hour. 2012 vintage — 10 years ago
Fino sherry bottled in 1980. Both reductive and oxidative: a [delicious] enigma! — 10 years ago

Matt likes this. Blue cheese, mild/no oak, soft tannins, powerful fruit, crowd pleaser — 11 years ago

Dark fruit balanced through old oak showing light spice on the nose encouraging thought to nail a specific note but is remaining a bit of an enigma in my rock rattled head after a good day enhanced by 75 MPH Harley induced wind and the brilliance of Bose and an iPhone. Ok, back to the wine, it touches, lightly grabs spreading its dark berry mini-burst in a layered earth touched tannin slow ride making magic with some of Chapel Hill's Bin 54's straight up amazing goodness (in this case very rare filet mignon, garlic tinged green beans and almond slivers; my go to steak spot in NC). Damn, this is all so right-on! Cheers! — 10 years ago
