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.

Check your diary and/or the date Ian, the BFT is still two weeks away.
Hope your "minor" ailment goes away quickly and without further issue for yourself or family.

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.
