Purported to be made according to "The original & authentic recipe of 1863," this reproduction of a legendary fortified wine is based on Bordeaux red wine made by Les Grands Chais de France fortified with de-cocainised Peruvian coca leaf.

Clear, deep reddy brown.
Red wine, cinnamon spice, earthy mocha coffee and white pepper.
Cinnamon and black pepper spiced red wine with nutmeg and coffee.
Spiced full-bodied red wine.
The addition of de-cocainised Peruvian coca leaf to an "exceptional Bordeaux" red wine may seem like a waste of good claret but Vin Mariani was an historically important product which undoubtedly helped inspire the creation of Coca-Cola and was probably the secret/lost ingredient in a Pisco Punch. It may lack the cocaine but this modern-day reproduction probably tastes better than the original.
