A decanter in Riedel's Performance series that matches the glasses with accuracy. Of course, it can be used to fill glasses in other series as well, but it may not be quite as neat and tidy. The carafe is machine-made, holds 104 cl and measures 24.5 cm above sea level.
In most cases, decanting a wine and giving it a boost with air makes the wine open up and start living a whole new life. Simply pulling the cork doesn't provide enough oxygenation, and simply swishing it around in the glass isn't always enough either. Pouring the bottle into a carafe is even better and doesn't look too bad on the table.
