Likely the best CDP that I and my wine dinner / aficionado friend have ever had! From their likeliy best vintage and stored absolutely perfectly. The cork was like new, zero seepage. Wow!! Leather, dried figs, prunes... absolutely delicious and continuously evolving in the glass. Worth the $500 at retail of admission? Pricing at this level of wine is utterly subjective, not cost based -- as in other fine things.

the 2009 has evolved nicely... decant for an hour and it is rather complex with thyme, a little blueberry and light plum. I enjoyed it and for the price point this vintage is a steal if you can find it!

Truly delicious, dry and complex with a long finish. I don't mean to be crass, but it tastes like a clean woman. Never had that in a wine before. Again, I don't mean to offend anyone, it's actually a compliment on the wine. Amazing what terroir can deliver in flavors and a dry Mavrodaphne is amazing and rich. This wine makes it unnecessary to go out on an expensive date, it's a date in itself. Pop and pour.
