This is what good wine from the Mavrodaphne grape tastes like

Mavrodaphne is a blue Greek grape variety that produces robust, full-bodied red wines with abundant color and the necessary tannin. Mavrodaphne is usually used to make fortified, port-like wines. Sometimes it's used to add some power to a dry blend of other grapes.

The best-known sweet red wines from this powerhouse from Greece are the Mavrodaphne from Patras in the Peloponnese and the Mavrodaphne from Kefalonia. The few dry red wines from Mavrodaphne alone generally don't have a reputation that would attract wine writers.
