93pts Wine Advocate– 2017 vintage

“The red 2017 Dido shows a lot of aromas from the Syrah (always a significant part of the blend, around 20%), with some smoked bacon and violet aromas and always with contained ripeness, as it’s planted on granite soils that take a long time to ripen. It has good complexity and great juiciness, with even more freshness than the already-phenomenal 2016. There are very fine tannins and the electric sensation from the granite soils. This is just amazing, one of the finest vintages for this bottling, like a relaxed version of the 2013. Amazing value. 85,000 bottles produced..”
