Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Riedel Vinum XL Cabernet Glass, Set of 2
Customer Review: Exactly what it says: XL Cab glass from Riedel
Summary: 5 Stars
Having tried the Vinum line for years, and then more recently the Extreme line (love them) and the Vitis line, I wasn't sure what to expect but I wanted some really large Bordeaux glasses. What you should expect is a larger version of the classic Riedel Vinum Bordeaux glass. They're simply that, as opposed to the Extreme glass which is differently shaped and as tall but with a different ratio between the size of the bowl and the length of the stem. These have a relative bowl to stem ratio that is similar to the regular Vinum Bordeaux glass but blown up in size.
If one cares, I have 2 of these, 2 of the Cab Extremes and 2 of the Vitis Cabs from Riedel. In addition to the regular Vinum Bordeauxs, of course. I bought these to drink my really big, cellared cabs.
Finally, if you're reading this review, you're already a fan of Riedel, I presume, so I don't have to go into why fine glasses like these *do* make a difference in how your wine tastes. If people are interested, the biggest difference I've found is when I drink a great pinot out of the Riedel Oregon pinot glasses (which have a curved rim, Riedel calls them the XL Pinot Vinum) - oh, are those glasses beautiful! They are a finer, thinner glass too, similar to the one found in the Riedel Cabernet decanters.
Description of Riedel Vinum XL Cabernet Glass, Set of 2
This Riedel Vinum XL Cabernet glass excels in flawlessly blending together the wine's aromas and flavors, bringing to light brilliant concentration, while harmonizing the intense sweet dark red fruit, integrating the tannins and masking the alcohol. Described in the words of Georg Riedel, 'For me, this is the new benchmark glass when it comes to the enjoyment of young wines composed of the Bordeaux varietals'. Positioned as the new generation of Riedel wine glasses, the Vinum XL collection brings fresh excitement to the benchmark Vinum machine blown range.This glass sold as a set of 2.A bold adaptation of Riedel's popular Vinum stemware line, XL incorporates the same varietal-specific shapes into larger sized silhouettes for a dramatic effect at the table or bar. Each piece is machine-made of premium 24-percent lead crystal to combine the brilliance and clarity of fine glass with a welcomed affordability that makes it perfect for everyday use. With gently curved bowls perched on slender, solid stems and thick bases, the line also unites classic elegance with user-friendly durability. This set of two Cabernet glasses is essential to any wine connoisseur's collection and is designed to enhance young wines composed of Bordeaux varietals. Each features a 37-3/8-ounce capacity to allow wines to breathe and the bouquet to develop, and stands 10-1/2 inches high. Hand washing is recommended. Made in Germany. --Kara Karll
