  Chatto Isle - The First Decade (Chatto / Fat Pig Farm): I really enjoyed the ’15 and was my second pick of the bracket. Some commentary from others about reductiveness, but that was just being picky trying to find a fault. Had a lovely edge of smoke and flint sitting against the fruit, which has a darker mien about it.

  This is such a good Pinot, gorgeous ruby colour and smells amazing. Layered and complex, a little smoky reduction, kick of spice and cranberry acidity on the finish. Beautiful.

  Colour deep garnet pink edges , translucent bright and clear 15/15
  Nose great intensity so much going on fruits , spice, florals , sweeet, savoury amazing complexity 29/30
  Palate more intense than white label , same as the nose , layer after layer , crying out for time in the bottle 42/44
  Overall These are 2 very different wines the White and Black labels , both get better with age , great now but the future holds the promise of so much more 10/11
