Avontuur Baccarat 2010

Name: Avontuur Baccarat 2010
Brand: Avontuur
SKU: 37158

Aroma: Forthcoming aromas of ripe red fruit with attractive underlying earthy notes from the Cabernet Franc component. The oak treatment adds complexity.
Flavour: A full-bodied mouth-feel displaying blackberry and dark cherry flavours on the palate. The well balanced acidity and rich texture leads to a long finish giving a powerful wine that will age well for up to 7 more years.

Will pair well with robust red meat dishes and venison.
