Petrakopoulos Mavro 2017

(100% Mavrodaphne from Palliki area in Cephalonia, 13.5% abv, TA 5.4 g/L, rs 1.5 g/L, 2000 bottles produced) Dry Mavrodaphne is perhaps the next big thing in Greek reds and Petrakopoulos produces concentrated, opulent examples not sacrificing though the telltale elegance of the variety.
