Review of Riedel Vinum XL Pinot Noir Glass, Set of 2

I can't speak too highly of this wine glass. It works for any Pinot Noir just brilliantly, not only the Oregonian examples. The aromas flood out of the glass, really allowing the nuances and secondary/tertiary notes to flourish, while on the palate the flavors are concentrated adeptly really allowing a perfect expression of this gorgeous varietal. Best of all, it works well as an all-purpose glass. Previously I had recommended the Vinum Zin/Riesling glass with the caveat that it did not work for Pinot at all. Now that problem is solved. I have consumed every major varietal from this glass, and all work. Syrah expecially does well (not surprising since before the Syrah glass was developed the Pinot glass was recommended for all Rhone reds!), as does the aromatic whites (Viognier, Gewurz). Sure, Cabernet may not shine as it might from the correct glass, and I always recommend someone owning a good Cab glass, but this glass is clearly the best all-purpose glass for table red and whites that I have ever tried - by an absolute mile.
