Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Riedel Cabernet Decanter
Customer Review: appears small but isn't
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm very happy with this purchase. It does appear small, but easily holds a 750 ml bottle with room to spare. Looks nice on the table. Good price and quality relative to what else is available at Amazon or other stores like Crate & Barrel.
Description of Riedel Cabernet Decanter
Crafted of 24% lead crystal, this machine-blown decanter is more compact than most, and is perfect for half-bottles or when you want to experiment with just a few glasses of wine. Decanting is particularly nice when you want to enhance the clarity and brilliance of aged wines, or when you want to serve a younger wine - it allows the wine to bloom, a stage of development that normally requires years of aging.???Decanting old wines, just a few moments before they are served, helps to ensure that the wines' clarity and brilliance are not obscured by any deposit that may have developed over time. Decanting young wines several hours before they are served gives the wine a chance to bloom and attain a stage of development that normally requires years of aging.??? (Thoughts on decanting by Christian Moueix).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
