Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Riedel Cabernet Decanter
Customer Review: A very nice decanter
Summary: 5 Stars
We originally purchased one of the many very broad based decanters that provide maximum surface area for contact with the air. That decanter looked nice but took up a lot of room on the table and frankly was a bit cumbersome when it came to actually pouring the wine. Getting the last glass of wine out without spilling any takes some extra care. More than once we slopped that last glass because we weren't paying attention. Eventually that decanter was accidently broken and we needed a new on. This smaller Reidel decanter is excellent. It is easy to handle and pour from. It takes up less space on the table and looks great. The glass is thin and looks quite elegant. Yes, it is sized for a 375 ml bottle but holds 750 ml quite nicely. With 750 ml in it, it is about 60% filled,(from bottom to top) so it does not look overfilled or anything like that. Does this mean that you are not getting the maximum surface of wine exposed to the air? Yes. I compensate for that by pouring my wine through an aerator as it goes into the decanter and the wine ends up tasting great. BTW, I just received a Vinturi aerator for Christmas and that thing works quite well when used this way. I found that using the Vinturi at each glass (as suggested by the manufacturer) is a pain and messy. Using an aerator with this decanter is an excellent way to go, in my opinion. You get a classy looking, easy pour decanter and the wine gets aerated. What more could you want?
Description of Riedel Cabernet Decanter
Decanting old wines just a few moments before they are served helps to ensure that the wines' clarity and brilliance are not obscured by deposits and sediment. Decanting young wine several hours before they are served allows the wine to bloom and attain a stage of development that normally requires years of aging.Made in Austria by the world's most-renowned wineglass maker (Riedel Crystal, founded in 1756), this decanter allows sediment to settle, clarifying any older red wine. Even with a young, sediment-free wine, the decanter makes a beautiful serving vessel by displaying the wine's color. It's machine blown of brilliant 24 percent lead crystal and conforms to Riedel's exacting standards: colorless, transparent, and thin-walled. It holds 37-1/8 ounces, ample for a 750-milliliter bottle of wine, and measures 9 inches high. Its graceful, outwardly curved neck provides a secure grip when pouring. Riedel crystal is used by fine restaurants all over the world and thus must stand up to frequent trips through a dishwasher. But because lead crystal has a soft, coarse surface to convey intense aromas, Riedel recommends the decanter be hand washed. --Fred Brack
