Sorry to have to report that I have succumbed to a very minor (and I mean minor) case of covid and although the line is now faint, I am still returning a positive test. Therefore, in line with guidelines, as opposed to requirements, I will reluctantly have to withdraw from tonight’s tasting.
On the positive side I now expect there to be issues with assisting at the BFT next week!

@idj123 - Sorry to hear you will not be with us, but the right decision. I am pleased to hear that Covid is not causing you major health issues though.

Noval 85 double decanted approx 1730 last night.
Bottle in perfect condition but cork pretty much disintegrated - partly due to unavailability of satisfactory extraction tools.
QA sample all good.
