| 75 | | | 90 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Ruby Porto, is one of the best with chocolate, especially a dark chocolate macaroon. The pairing is absolutely sybaritic. And here’s the best part: It’s the least expensive!!! This is the porto young couples still swooning at the sight of each other may want to gather up in large quantities. Full-bodied with a deep, translucent purple red color, this one offers aromas of sweet dark fruits and nuts, while on the palate lush dark fruits, spice and the taste of toffee (not its sweetness) brings the experience to a close. Well balanced, with not too much heat from the high alcohol, this Ruby Porto shows how well a Ruby Porto can do with the right foods. Germans founded this, Portugal’s oldest extant Port house, in 1638; it is Porto’s first known shipper of record. Not widely distributed in this country, Kopke is a revered name among Porto aficionados. Serve at cool room temperature, about 60-65ºF/15ºC, in small, tulip-shaped glasses. Chocolate: milk chocolate slightly melted on a round of thinly sliced toasted French bread with large-grain sea salt on top; chocolate macaroons and brownies; American Gra-Frutti’s chocolate with ground nuts; chocolate with espresso centers (The Chocolate Bar); chocolate truffles.
