  1. Boil the citrus peels, cinnamon, and sugar, then strain.
  2. Add the claret wine, bring it to the boil again, and serve in glass cups.
Nose
Hot citrus peel, cinnamon, and red wine dominate the aroma.
Palate
This is useful because it preserves the fully scaled festive hot-wine branch as a serious service form rather than a domestic afterthought.
Finish
The finish is warming, spiced, and vinous.
Summary
A large-format mulled claret service from the festive hot-punch branch.
