Ahh thank my friend Roger X

Pleased to try @DermotSugrue epic first foray into still Pinot Noir sourced from Mason’s Point Vineyard, Crouch Valley.
succulent dark hedgerow berries - loganberries, damson preserve, cherries, Scottish autumn raspberries, cedar and smoky bacon crisps. Structured & poised.

Star turns the two of you @littlebedwyn @lismorewine I’m more than delighted you had a bottle of Bonkers at hand (and a rather decent Bordeaux) to celebrate impromptu visit of true winemaking royalty

Does not get much better- you judge a wine blind @Decanter then the winemaker turn up to your your house to sign and confirm her score, @hnwines @limorewine luckily I had a couple of wines to celebrate with her including @DermotSugrue epic Chardonnay & 2001 Bordeaux @TheBuyer11
