40% opacity, red with slight brown hints. Chocolate on the nose. Soft and smooth entry, rich mouthfeel, great balance. Mature red fruits. Very nice. I guessed N70.

Bottled by Sandeman? Silver capsule?

Yes, Sandeman label and a silver capsule.

Rs60, brought by CPR. Red-pink, 25% opaque. Palate of dark pepper and strawberry, soft. Very long, in a light LBV style. Lovely-ish.

Sounds delicious; would love to try.
