Its Challenging curvaceous shape is blown with two openings on either end, the larger for receiving wine, and the smaller for pouring wine into the glass, with the vessel’s large bowl maximizing the surface-‐to-‐air space allowing such a large amount of wine to fully open up and aerate.
The decanter’s clear lead crystal is accented by three tuxedo stripes in Riedel’s Heritage colors, with a large imperial red stripe outlined by two black lines that lovingly follow the contours of its stylized shape.
