Dido La Universal 2022

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. They produced 96,000 bottles. It was bottled between January and March 2024.
