Product Details

When stored in perfect conditions Bordeaux wines can mature for a hundred years or more – and such wines can offer an incomparable tasting experience. Late-ripening, Cabernet Sauvignon grapes produce a wine with powerful tannic structure that gives the wine its unique longevity. Bottle ageing develops both the colour and the aromas, fusing together and rounding out the tannins to the point that the wine tastes even better than it smells. This stage marks a plateau from which the wine will slowly start to decline in quality. And it is at precisely this point that the Sommeliers Mature Bordeaux shape is required to maximize the wine drinking experience. The glass offers a smaller ‘breathing space’ than that for the Bordeaux Grand Cru, thereby de-emphasising the aromas of age. Reduced tannin levels are revived on the palate, while the fruit is highlighted. This is a glass that imparts all the concentration and finesse that these great wines deserve.
