Avontuur Baccarat 2000

Impressive deep inky colour, with a concentrated bouquet of blackberries, dark chocolate and vanilla. Baccarat has a silky palate that overwhelms you with blackcurrant flavours, hints of exotic spice, echoing with mouth coating tannins and a excellent fruity persistence on the finish.
