Decanters Horn

Modeled after a musical horn's coiled shape, the Horn decanter is a homage to the RIEDEL family's central European heritage. The Horn decanter was inspired by the iconic insignia that symbolizes the Austrian Post's mail delivery system. Like other coiled decanters, the Horn decanter &quotdouble-decants&quot wine. It features 2 openings on either end, the larger of which is to be used for both receiving and pouring wine.

The decanter's clear crystal color is accented by a large regal golden yellow stripe outlined by two black lines following the contours of its curved silhouette.

This decanter is designed to hold a single bottle of wine.

Riedel's decanter collection features a great assortment of shapes and designs from the crystal masters at Riedel.&quotI prefer to decant wines, both young and old. It is a sign of respect for old wines and a sign of confidence in young wines. 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.&quot - (thoughts on decanting by Christian Moueix)
