Description

Rubis Chocolate Wine Liqueur is a fortified, chocolate flavoured, red wine liqueur!

It is made by flavouring fortified Tempranillo wine with chocolate essence. The red wine base is made from 100% Tempranillo grapes sourced from the wine growing region of La Mancha in central Spain. The wine is made in the usual way: grapes are harvested, pressed and fermented and then the wine is “fortified” with a neutral alcohol spirit (a very basic grape brandy). This addition of alcohol stops fermentation whilst there is still a high sugar content leaving a natural sweetness in the wine. The fortified red wine is finally blended with chocolate essences and the producers of Rubis seem to have got the recipe just right!

Serve With

Rubis Chocolate Wine Liqueur is a good partner to chocolates (experiment with milk or dark chocolates) and any chocolate-based desserts, puddings or cakes. it is also superb poured over ice cream for a rather super-charged chocolate and red fruit kick. It can also be used as a cooking ingredient and could be substituted for Port or Sherry in recipes - I can imagine it in a chocolate trifle of some sort.

Tasting Notes

The label pretty much sums it up - Chocolate + Velvet + Ruby! Rubis Chocolate Wine has a good clear, ruby red colour much like a ruby Port. The nose is a combination of red fruit notes, particularly red cherries, orange / citrus and, of course, lots of warming chocolate aromas. The palate is quite complex and has more red fruit and rich, dark, chocolate flavours with is a touch of spice at the back of the palate. The texture is similar to a Port wine, it is not at all gloopy or viscous, and has a sweet, velvety finish. It is a warming 15% ABV, so not too alcoholic. All in all, an unusual drink, but a good balance of wine and chocolate, neither really dominates the other.

Lucky enough to try some of the newly launched Pusser's Rum 15 Year Old blend this afternoon. Previously it had some Trinidadian rum in, it is now 100% Guyanese.

Here are my tasting notes:

"Pusser’s 15 Year Old Rum is a good, clear, dark golden brown colour. The nose is aromatic with fruity aromas of sweet candied peel hints of orange citrus fruit and some other fruity, ester-y notes. There are spicy nuances of nutmeg, white pepper, hints of brown sugar and caramel with a mellow, oaky rancio notes and a touch of vanilla the extended barrel ageing. On the palate there are lots of dark flavours reminiscent of liquorice, coffee, mocha, rancio and black molasses. There are also notes of confit plum, red berry (perhaps sloe or strawberry jam) fruit which adds complexity to the dark character. It is big soft, round and mellow on the palate with an initial sweetness however the finish is quite dry. The lingering finish demonstrates more spicy oak and peachy / apricot flavours. This is very different to the old bottling which was a lot sweeter with more fruity notes. This darker and drier, a much more serious rum than before."
