This wine is all about density and weightlessness. While the wine is opaque in color (thus the name?), full flavored and quite full bodied, it manages to come of lighter than you would think. Black fruits and savory aromas and flavors exude from this dark as night wine.

How about this... Triumphant and unique in that they are making a DRY expression of this amazing grape traditionally reserved for sweet wines. WHAT? WHY? How come it took the Greeks 3000+ years to figure out that mavrodaphne is fantastic dry?

M= 8.6. Both - smooth, dry, as remembered. A favorite. Not as good at 2012.
