... but the desire to taste two new grape varieties over took commonsense. Mavrodaphne and Korinthiaki are indigenous to the Patras region of Greece. They've been blended to create a sweet 15% a/v red. Presumably it has had some fortification [not mentioned on the label] although it obviously doesn't have the intensity of a port Colour is murky at best, a far cry from the promised "deep mahogany, bright with crimson lights"
It's not a bad wine - in fact it could go quite well with less sweet desserts. My main complaint is that I still have idea what those two grapes taste like.
And I think the packaging is outstanding.
