Bordeaux Glass

Height allows ethanol to disperse before the aromatics reach the nose, so cassis, cedar and graphite notes arrive cleanly.

Best Temperature

16–18°C (61–64°F)

Serve within this range so the fruit stays defined and the alcohol stays in the background. Take the bottle from the fridge a few minutes early rather than late.
