This glass was specifally designed to release the woody aromas (or tertiary aromas originating from the barrel aging) of red wines such as coffee or licorice. The surface of oxygenation at the bottom of the bowl creates an optimal aromatic chamber to bring out the most intense aromas. Wines recommened with this glass include red grapes (Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah, Pinot noir..) with barrel aging.
