These Riedel Vinum Bordeaux Glasses are perfect for young, full-bodied (more than 12 percent alcohol), complex red wines that are high in tannin.
Also known as Riedel Vinum Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot Glasses they smooth out the rough edges, emphasizing the fruit and allowing wines to achieve a balance that would normally take years of ageing to acquire.
The generous size of this machine blown, lead-free crystal glass allows the bouquet to develop fully while 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.
Due to their size and shape, this model is also perfect for anyone looking for Riedel Vinum Merlot Glasses.
The Riedel Vinum Bordeaux glass comes in a set of two.
