Perfect for young, full-bodied
(more than 12 percent alcohol), complex red wines that
are high in tannin.
This glass smoothes out the rough
edges, emphasizing the fruit, allowing wines to
achieve a balance that would normally take years of
aging to acquire.
The generous size of this glass
allows the bouquet to develop fully. The shape directs
the flow of wine onto the zone of the tongue which
perceives sweetness, thus accentuating the fruit and
de-emphasizing the bitter qualities of the
tannin.
