Hmmm... mulled wine

Nothing beats a chilly evening with a mug of warm mulled wine. I made this particularly intriguing blend of a rather horrid tasting merlot, cinzano and a dash of amaretto and lots of sugar into a pretty nice warm drink. It has a bit of amaretto on the back palette with loads of jamminess and cinzano up front. Quite sweet too... I think if it didn't have the sweetness it'd probably taste too much like the horrid merlot it once was.
