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 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. |
