"Achaia Clauss Mavrodaphne of Patras Imperial: This thick, purple mavrodaphne reserve has gone the way of a tawny Port, age simultaneously lightening and deepening its flavors. Now the fruit is more baked apple and apricot, while the freshness has turned to truffle, spice and deep caramel. Most remarkably, the sweetness has mellowed considerably, giving plenty of ripe flavors while finishing light and clean. Pour it with sweet rusks at the end of the meal." 88 Points - Wine & Spirits Magazine, 100 Best Values of 2001, Winter, 2001 |
