"Tasting the red 2022 Dido next to the 2021 was a revelation of how transparent this wine is with the character of the year. This is darker, with a fruit-driven nose with darker berry fruit and a more voluptuous palate, reflecting the warmer and drier year. It's a wine with more ripeness and higher alcohol (13.26%) and a rounder mouthfeel, with glossier tannins, even if they harvested a little earlier and do shorter macerations or use a higher percentage of carbonic maceration."

"A well-spiced red that's light on its feet, this fresh, medium-bodied example offers crushed raspberry and strawberry fruit, dried rosemary and lavender, milled pepper, graphite and mineral notes. Lightly chewy on the lingering finish. Grenache, Carinyena, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2031. 8,400 cases made, 1,100 cases imported. –AN"
