  Jólasmakk Eðalklúbbsins 2022 (Hlíðarás 10): Þetta var mjög ljóst á litinn. Í nefinu komu fram súputeningar, oscar kjötkraftur. Á tungu var sama uppi á (súpu)teningnum. Óáfengt vín þar sem virðist vera bætt salti út í vökvann (segi ekki vínið) til að fá fram eitthvað bragð. Mjög furðulegt og mjög vont. Lægsta einkunn sem ég hef nokkru sinni gefið á CT.
  Það kom reyndar í ljós við skoðun að þessi einkunn er jöfn þeirri sem ég gaf Barone Montalto Terre Siciliane fyrir fjórum árum, næstum nákvæmlega.

  Screwcap. Nice medium ruby with a hint of purple. On the nose, aromas of rather precise blackberry jam. On the palate, the attack is frank, juicy with a medium length, still on blackberry jam. Slight fermentation aromas, but just barely. Supposed to be made with Syrah and Garnacha. Bitter final touch of some tannin.
  
  Hmm... A bit like the white version of this tasted last week, I get the impression that this is a mix of 2/3 fruit juice and 1/3 wine with no alcohol buzz. This is okay, and even rather pleasant juice, but whether it is the missing alcohol, or the missing complexity of the aromas, or once again though to a lesser degree, the impression this is too sweet (but fortunately less sweet than the white) I have a hard time associating to this as wine.
  
  A pleasant drink, and as said regarding the white, I've had worse wines and better juices. Pleasant, but not close enough in flavour to what I drink as wine to pass as wine despite being a good effort.
  
  I'll next try alcohol free wines in 5 or so years to see if there is some improvement.
