Gift packaged in a special
Riedel gift tube.
Fine hand made crystal in a
shape which requires courage because of its unusual
size. This is arguably one of the best wine glasses
in the world!
- This glass, first created in
1959, is not a design gimmick but a precision
instrument, developed to highlight the unique
characteristics of the great wines of
Bordeaux.
- The large bowl (capacity 30
oz) brings out the full depth of contemporary
wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet
Franc and Merlot. Modern vinification techniques
enable wine-makers to concentrate the fruit to
such an extent that young wines may seem
one-dimensional, tannic and over-oaked if served
in smaller glasses. The Sommeliers Bordeaux
Grand Cru gives breathing space to both young
and more mature wines, unpacking the various
layers of bouquet and delivering a full spectrum
of aromas.
- On the palate, the texture
of the wine-soft, silky, velvety - is
intensified and the finish prolonged, gently
blending acidity with supple, sweet tannins.
This is a glass that showcases these
majestically structured red wines in all their
complexity and finesse.
-
Recommended for: Bordeaux (red),
Brunello di Montalcino, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, Sangiovese, Sangiovese
Grosso, Tempranillo. |
