Drawing on the superlative skills of Riedel's glassmakers, the Ultra decanter is simultaneously beautiful and superbly functional. Its broad belly and flared neck look handsome and unusual, showing wine to its best advantage. In action, these features increase wine's exposure to oxygen, resulting in improved flavors and more developed bouquets. The piece is comfortable to grip and graceful to pour with, thanks to its cut and polished rim. Mouth-blown in Austria by renowned craftspeople, the decanter is made of full-lead crystal for exceptional clarity and brilliance. It stands 8-3/8 inches high and holds 43-3/8 ounces at full capacity. Riedel recommends washing it by hand. i--Emily Bedard/i
Product Description
iI 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. p 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. p 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.

Great Conversation Piece October 5, 2008
I bought this for a couple reasons; 1, it's made by Riedel, and 2, because of its shape. Not only is the shape a conversation topic but it also allows the wine to breath much more than if left in the bottle. I use my decanter for EVERY bottle of red I open, regardless of age. The vast majority of the wines I drink are "young" wines and really benefit from breathing in the decanter for 2 - 5 hours.
In love with this decanter May 27, 2008
This beautiful decanter is the best choice and the price can't be beat. It is a showcase for expensive or moderate priced wines. All the guest were truly impressed as the rich red wine cascaded down the throat and into the bowl. This is the answer to gift giving as well.
