A super interesting wine, virtually fruitless, with copious amounts of dried herbs and nice minerality.
Firm, medium tannins, fresh acidity, nice balance & depth. Very food friendly (think moussaka). A good one! — 3 months ago

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

Smells like sweet roasted red bell peppers with ground meaty notes Pair with beef stuffer red bell peppers and onions or traditional Greek cuisine. Dolmas would be lovely for vegetarian fair. First Greek wine I truly enjoy! — 5 years ago

A dark ruby color a nose of cherry's and currants. Sweet but not too cloying a good acidity for balance. It taste like a port I love it. It is the first dessert wine beside port that i like. — 8 years ago

Vintage 2019 | Venison steak with mashed carrots. What to pair with it? I had six bottles in my hands and decided this Greek wine from six years old. When young you often do not know what to expect from a wine, the older you get the more you get a trained taste and can choose safe choices. But I like the surprises and the fact I am not aware what to expect. This red has a rich nose with cedar (6 m barrel aging), chocolate and spices. Cherries in taste with a hint of raspberries, quite strong ánd still quaffable. Chocolate in taste too. It makes my day. Fine website from producer but it does not give the grape variety (mavrodaphne?). — a year ago

A lovely Greek wine. Raisin aromas that are almost port like. Prune, plum, and smoke notes. A great change of pace and if you like other old world wines, I'd recommend you give this a try. Good value at $18. — 5 years ago

Even better with lamb. Intense earthiness (reminds me of good Aglianico but austere like a young cab franc), touch of barnyard, framed by a graceful body with finer tannins than the nose would lead to believe. — 2 years ago

Черные ягоды, голубика, смородина, чуть йогурт, взрывно. Развивается в бокале. Огуречный рассол, помидорная ботва, паслен что ли. Элегантно, сбалансированно. Очень хорошо! — 7 years ago

Don’t recall if I tricked this back from Crete or no but whatever. It’s as easy drinking with smooth plum skin and cherry. Dry without being too sweet. Perfect with a Philly 7.10.87 — 8 years ago
