Naoussa Mavro 2013

Perfect summer red - definitely full bodied but on the lighter side. Hints of cherry and spice. — 2 years ago

Petrakopoulos

Mov Prephylloxera Mavro 2020

Poured through a Venturi into a decanter prior to service. For a grape that has traditionally been used to make less-than-serious fortified wines, this was quite a serious Mavrodaphne indeed. From ungrafted vines, the 2020 “Mov” pours purple in color. A touch reticent early, this is developing and only beginners to open after about 30min after which it revealed it’s layered red and dark fruits, earth, cocoa, purple flowers, minerals and soft baking spices. Structure was medium+. Balanced and paired well with our beef and grilled eggplant. Only 800 bottles produced. — 3 years ago

Tetramythos

Mavro Kalavritino Naturε

This overtly surprisingly good for any Greek natural wine I’ve tried. Lotsa Stoney terroir, funky but just polished enough to be so damn enjoyable on its own or with some poultry or grilled fish or whatever. Have it! — 7 years ago

Lambouri

Commandaria Legacy Mavro Xynistéri Blend 2000

Молочный ирис, сушеные финики, грецкий орех, карамель, сушеный банан, пряности, осенние листья. Округло и мягко, обволакивающе; широко и радушно, без вертикалей и лишней строгости. — 10 years ago

Kir-Yianni Estate

Ramnista Naoussa Xinomavro 2009

The Kir-Yianni Ramnista 2009 is 100% Xinomavro, an indigenous variety that is lauded as the noblest red in Greece, the root "Xino" means sour and "mavro" translated, means black. Does it live up to its name? The nose is a gathering storm of black olive tapenade and black currant aromas, leather, violets, smoke and coriander seed. On the palate, brash, slightly astringent mid-palate tannins hem in juicy Italian plums, iron ore, wild game, and yes markedly high acid. Needs time. 14.0% ABV — 11 years ago

Mouklos Mavro 2023

Delicious! Very light in color, it looked more like a dark rosé than a red. Bright, vibrant red fruit on the nose and palate. Great balance. Made from an indigenous grape from Cyprus. What a treat! 11/22/25. — 7 months ago

Commandaria Xynistseri-Mavro Blend 2008

Джем из красных апельсинов, мятая клубника, земляника, годзи, чай с шиповником и мёдом. Тело не слишком увесистое, концентрация средняя, дразнящая и не липкая. Чуть не достаёт кислотности и структуры, но в целом приятно и небанально. — 10 years ago

2014 vintage. Pretty awesome. Ripe but not overly fruit driven. Definitely a little meaty funk. Makes me crave grilled octopus with citrus and Mediterranean herbs. — 11 years ago

Domaine Roussos

Paros Dry Red mandilaria Mavro 2020

Blend of Mandilaria and Mavro Aidani
Intense fresh sour black cherries, pomegranate juice, a whiff of black pepper, allspice.
On the palate this is fresh, with vibrant acidity and nice, juicy acidity.
This is on the leaner, fresher side with sour cherries galore… worked v. nicely with some grilled pork chops.

Domain Mega Spileo

Grand Cave Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Лакрица, лопнувшая свежая вишня, корица, сигарный ящик, перец, горький шоколад. С развитием, хорошо. Очень свежо, полный вкус, хотя тело ближе к легкому. Дуб, ваниль, чуть вяжущий финиш. Полностью готовое вино. Строго и элегантно.

This is Mega Spileo Red Blend (60% Mavrodafni + 40% Mavro Kalavritino)
