This is what good wine from the Mavro  grape tastes like

Mavro is by far the most widely planted grape variety in Cyprus. Not a high-flyer. Red wines made from Mavro are generally light in color and rather flat in flavor. They are meant to be enjoyed young. The best Mavro wines are made from the higher-elevation vineyards of Cyprus.

Mavro used to account for more than three-quarters of Cyprus' wine. Now, it's slightly less than half. In the twentieth century, quality was less important on the island. Mavro juice was used for mulled wine, or the Cypriot "sherry" that was very popular in Great Britain for a while. Now that several dozen boutique wineries are active in Cyprus, you can occasionally find a very nice, perhaps even good, Mavro wine. These usually come from the highest vineyards in western Cyprus, where it produces less abundant fruit than in other locations (many grapes on the vine are detrimental to the wine's concentration and quality).

Mavro, along with the white Xynisteri, is the ingredient in the sweet, ancient Cypriot specialty: Commandaria. This is a highly complex, intensely sweet wine made from dried grapes. A quality wine for eight hundred years.
