This glass is designed to elevate the character of structured red wines by:

• Enhancing Aromatics: The light optic impact unlocks blackcurrant, plum, cassis, tobacco, cedar, dark chocolate, and graphite notes.
• Taming Tannins: The large bowl allows air contact, which smooths tannic edges, resulting in a more balanced, elegant mouthfeel.
• Amplifying Fruit & Complexity: Emphasizes rich fruit cores and layered complexity while minimizing bitterness or harshness.

Recommended Varietals:

• Cabernet Sauvignon (especially Napa Valley, Bordeaux, Coonawarra)
• Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot
• Bordeaux blends (Left and Right Bank: Margaux, Pauillac, Pomerol, St. Émilion, etc.)
• Brunello di Montalcino, Montepulciano, Carménère
