Wine Advocate, 93 Points 

"I also tasted the red 2020 Dido next to the 2019 vintage of it. There is more fruit in the 2020, and the wine is gentler and softer than the 2019; it's juicy and has more tannin (or grainier), and it comes through as more concentrated. It's intense and a little more exuberant, but it keeps the freshness on the granite soils. Despite the mildew in 2020, they managed to produce 85,000 bottles. It was bottled in January 2022." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Our tribute to youth, tenacity, love and Grenache. The wine, from plots in Falset, exhibits delicious fruit and is aged in a combination of barrels and clay amphorae to maintain an extraordinary freshness and purity." 

Alcohol: 13.5%
