      Tasting notes :

      Light red-tinged mahogany with violet highlights, Gries has an intense aroma of bitter chocolate and cherries. Full-bodied with silky tannins, it coats the mouth with sultry layers of crème caramel, blackberry and pipe tobacco. The finish lingers with leather and spice. Pair with barbecue or try with ginger-roasted pork loin with fennel and dried fruit.
