The red 2016 Dido has the ripeness and depth of the 2015 but with extra freshness that makes it go an extra mile in length. It has the complex mix of grapes, mostly Garnacha with Syrah and perhaps 10% of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, and the different soils, as it comes from different vineyards in different parts of the appellation. Some 60,000 bottles produced.

Smoky and earthy notes frame black cherry and licorice flavors in this firm red. The tannins are assertive, but balsamic acidity keeps the wine lively. A bit rustic, but solid; decant. Garnacha, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2026. 5,500 cases made, 290 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Montsant Select to Add
