Port

Tawny port is barrel aged, so it's mellower and has less tannin than ruby…but it's not as good with chocolate! Try it instead with nut, cream, caramel desserts.

Dirk Niepoort is a revolutionary in the port region, whose wines tend to emphasize terroir. This ruby has full body and sweetness but edged with acidity and a touch of tannin. Brandied cherries, black tea and a long black cherry finish. Good with chocolat
