Description of Riedel Sommeliers Series Tawny Port Glass, Packed in a Gift TubeThis style of port is not released in specific vintages, but is matured in oak over many years. When it is bottled and shipped, the label shows how long it has spent in barrels. It has an amber color, deriving from oxidation during the vinification process, and aromas reminiscent of raisins and sweet dried fruits. Its high alcohol content makes it supple, dense and pleasantly sweet on the palate. This glass is designed to help tawny port achieve an optimum balance of fruit and acidity and a perfect finish. Recommended for: Colheitas, LBV (Late Bottled Vintage), Madeira, Malvasia, Tawny Port, Vinsanto. Handmade of mouth-blown full lead crystal, this wine glass is from Riedel?s top-of-the-line Sommeliers collection and is for those who take their port seriously. The glass is specifically shaped to balance the fruit and acidity in more mature ports, such as Colheitas, LBV (Late Bottled Vintage), Madeira, Malvasia, Tawny Port, and Vinsanto, for a smooth finish. The glass has the unique ability to enhance the sweet taste and dense texture of port?s high alcohol content and allow the dried fruit bouquet to unfold. The tiny glass holds 8-3/4 ounces of port and stands 6-3/8 inches high with a 2-inch wide bowl. --Cristina Vaamonde
