Riedel "O" Decanter

Wine decanters help separate the clear wine from sediments that wine contains as a natural process of aging Decanting the wine also provides air into the wine, letting the wine breath- releasing the aromas and enhancing flavors "Decanting old wines, just a few moments before they are served gives the wine a chance to bloom and attain a stage of developing that normally requires years of aging" (C Moueix)
