Paloma - Riedel Wine Decanter

"I 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." - thoughts on decanting by Christian Moueix.

How and When to Use a Decanter
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. .

Benefits of Using a decanter

* A decanter is a vessel that is used to hold the decantation of a liquid (such as wine) which may contain sediment.
* Decanters are also normally used as serving vessels for wine.
* Another reason for decanting wine is to aerate it, or allow it to "breathe". The decanter is meant to mimic the effects of swirling the wine glass to stimulate the movement of molecules in the wine to trigger the release of more aroma compounds.
