Riedel Cabernet Magnum decanter

Nice decanters for a value price. Not much to describe - they hold the magnum of wine with room to spare, and have a good neck that makes it easy to hold while allowing cleaning and drying.

This decanter is amazing. It looks great on the table, it's easy to clean because the opening is big enough and it does a great job of aerating the wine -- particularly if you are hosting a bigger group and have two bottles of the same wine.

We got this as a Christmas gift for our son-in-law and he loved it. The design is classic, the quality is high, the size is great for one or two bottles of wine and it "does the job". Highly recommend it for any wine lovers.

This an excellent decanter for any fine red wine. While the name says Bordeaux, it works well with any red wine. The name says magnum reflecting a capacity sufficient to hold two regular 750 ml bottles of wine. It is best used for single 750 ml bottles. This fills the decanter to just above the point of widest diameter which exposes the maximum amount of wine to air. The decanter also has a fairly slim profile so it is easy to store. Of course the Riedel decanter that exposes the most wine to air is the Riedel Magnum Ultra Decanter . But this is far more expensive, more cumbersome due to its width, and is made with leaded glass. So I prefer the Magnum Cabernet Decanter. Usage tips: The inside surface of the decanter is designed to attract the wine. Pour the wine slowly down the side of the decanter so it breathes while pouring. Maybe use soap to clean the inside ONCE when you first get it and be sure to rinse it really well. After, only use warm water to rinse the decanter. It will discolor over time from the red wine. A great two-step cleaning process is first Riedel 1-3/4-Inch Bottle Cleaner Beads and then Decanter Cleaning Brush - White . Highly recommended.

Seems like a nice decanter but when full of some very nice wine, a bottle next to it tipped and just touched the Reidel Magnum decanter which shattered into pieces. The wine was gone. Will never replace the Reidel, rather will buy a more robust glass. Glass is too thin. The event was heartbreaking.

This is DEFINITELY the right size for a single 750ml bottle. I have no idea what Riedel is thinking saying that it is for a magnum...while indeed it will "hold" a full magnum, it would be full up to the neck, which is not really the right idea for a decanter. The glass is a bit thinner than I expected, but it is very high quality, consistent and nice looking, with no flaws at all. I do believe this is great value for money.

We are very pleased with this decanter. It is functional and beautiful. It really is the perfect size for one bottle of wine. I was concerned that it might be too large and imposing for the dinner table, but that is not the case at all. I highly recommend this decanter.

I need one of these for that occasional magnum. Amazon hit every note, even the high C.

Este decantador está muy bonito. Tamaño ideal para decantar hasta 1.5 lts. Gran diseño y alta calidad. Riedel sabe como hacer las cosas...

Excellent. I love the shape - it looks good and is easy to clean. We have a wide, round bottomed decanter that looks good and lots of air/wine contact, but it's a pain to clean. I really only clean with hot water - don't want those cellared wines tasting soapy - and the wide bottom has some etching in it that's impossible to remove. A common problem, apparently. The shape also requires comparatively little shelf room for storage. Two notes: 1. I'm not at all hung up that it's a "Cabernet" decanter. This will work well with any varietal. 2. I didn't buy this for magnums, I bought it for 750ml bottles. I think the 750ml size decanter is too small - a bottle almost fills it, so not a lot of air/wine contact. It's thin and lightweight - I hope it lasts!!

Von der Größe her für eine 0,75L Flasche perfekt. Preisgünstig und gut!

If you want a grand centrepiece statement of a Magnum decanter, do not buy this. But it exactly suited my needs as it holds the contents of a magnum (though it gets quite full) without taking up too much space in the cupboard.

Muy bonito y bueno
