Riedel Sommeliers Maxi Bordeaux Grand Cru, Single Stem

The Bordeaux Grand Cru glass was developed in 1959 to enhance the flavor of younger Bordeaux region wines. The glass shape is specifically intended to intensify the texture and blend the acidity with the sweet tannins in wines such as Red Bordeaux, Brunello di Montalcino, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, Sangiovese Grosso, and Tempranillo. The large bowl brings out the depth of contemporary wines in the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot families and allows room for rich layers of aroma to unfold in both young and more mature wines. --Cristina Vaamonde

She's a small woman, but she still plans to try drinking out of it. More than anything, it's a great showpiece and conversation piece.
