RIEDEL Cabernet Magnum Decanter

If you want a grand centrepiece statement of a Magnum decanter, do not buy this. But it exactly suited my needs as it holds the contents of a magnum (though it gets quite full) without taking up too much space in the cupboard.

I purchased this decanter as a Christmas present for my son & his wife. Therefore I cannot comment on its use. However I was very impressed by the way it was packaged by the supplier. The decanter was packed in its own manufacturers box, then packed surrounded by bubble packing in a large cardboard box. This box was so large that I had a job finding the original box within it. As a consequence, the decanter survived transportation without incident. Well done!

Purchased this as a gift at it was very well received. Great size and great value compared to high street retail stores (John Lewis and the like).

Bought as a present for husband. Good value for Riedel. Good looking item

Este decantador está muy bonito. Tamaño ideal para decantar hasta 1.5 lts. Gran diseño y alta calidad. Riedel sabe como hacer las cosas...

Excellent. I love the shape - it looks good and is easy to clean. We have a wide, round bottomed decanter that looks good and lots of air/wine contact, but it's a pain to clean. I really only clean with hot water - don't want those cellared wines tasting soapy - and the wide bottom has some etching in it that's impossible to remove. A common problem, apparently. The shape also requires comparatively little shelf room for storage. Two notes: 1. I'm not at all hung up that it's a "Cabernet" decanter. This will work well with any varietal. 2. I didn't buy this for magnums, I bought it for 750ml bottles. I think the 750ml size decanter is too small - a bottle almost fills it, so not a lot of air/wine contact. It's thin and lightweight - I hope it lasts!!

Von der Größe her für eine 0,75L Flasche perfekt. Preisgünstig und gut!

Muy bonito y bueno

This an excellent decanter for any fine red wine. While the name says Bordeaux, it works well with any red wine. The name says magnum reflecting a capacity sufficient to hold two regular 750 ml bottles of wine. It is best used for single 750 ml bottles. This fills the decanter to just above the point of widest diameter which exposes the maximum amount of wine to air. The decanter also has a fairly slim profile so it is easy to store. Of course the Riedel decanter that exposes the most wine to air is the Riedel Magnum Ultra Decanter . But this is far more expensive, more cumbersome due to its width, and is made with leaded glass. So I prefer the Magnum Cabernet Decanter. Usage tips: The inside surface of the decanter is designed to attract the wine. Pour the wine slowly down the side of the decanter so it breathes while pouring. Maybe use soap to clean the inside ONCE when you first get it and be sure to rinse it really well. After, only use warm water to rinse the decanter. It will discolor over time from the red wine. A great two-step cleaning process is first Riedel 1-3/4-Inch Bottle Cleaner Beads and then Decanter Cleaning Brush - White . Highly recommended.
