Bodegas Cecchin Carignan 2023: Rich Complexity in Every Glass

Olivia Park — Bit much for me

5/10

The wine shop guy recommended this and I wanted to like it more than I did. It's quite heavy and earthy — I think I just prefer something lighter and fruitier. My partner loved it though so maybe it's just not my thing.

Luna Chavez — Not bad but not amazing

5/10

It's fine. Dark fruit, bit of spice, decent enough. But honestly for £14 I've had better reds — felt a bit too tannic for my taste and I couldn't really get past that. Might work better with food.

Maxwell Green — Decent dinner party wine

6/10

Served this at a dinner party with lamb and it went down well. Nothing mind-blowing but it's got enough complexity to keep things interesting. The spicy finish got a few comments. Good value for entertaining.
