Like Christmas in a glass! Clove, cinnamon, and chamomile. Francesca Vajra recommended pairing it with chocolate.

All of the #chinato here has been taken from the 2008 vintage. Heavy tastes of clove and mint. Very tasty! #vinitaly2015

Ruby. Prune. Dried fruit. Christmas fruitcake aroma. Sweetly, fir herbaceous. Out of town for holidays. Stamping snow from boots. Deeply winter. Jingle bells. Slush of ice- sled on melting snow. So just the teeny hint of the medicinal. Yet so fine. So- healing. Soothing. Earthy. In the old forest. Rough bark. Fox, the very edge of the eye- imagined? Away so fast. All of this. In just a few sips. Isn’t that a marvel?
