Swig Italian portfolio tasting (67 Pall Mall): Greater freshness and angularity than the 20's from this producer: red apple and bright cherry with a hint of eucalyptus - a good rendition of the Cru. The French oak signature is undeniable but it fades into the background. A concentrated, intense palate - lots of fine tannin and acid: really delicious and has the structure to age.

Young BaBa 2014-2019 theme dinner at Duomo. Tasted blind. Drank in Conterno Sensory. Appearance is clear, medium intensity, ruby colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of tight earth, dark red cherries, dark red plums, oak varnish. Developing. On the palate, dry, high acidity, high alcohol (15%), big high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of black cherries, dark red cherries, sweet dark red plums, black licorice, dark spicy oak varnish. Big long finish. Very good quality. Big oaky modern styled. Needs more time for integration.
