Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Riedel Vinum Extreme 35-1/4-Ounce DecanterCustomer Review: A real showpiece Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this several years ago as our other "normal" decanter was to large and one bottle of wine looked pretty lonely in it, though we do still use it for larger gatherings. This decanter holds exactly one bottle of wine and looks fantastic when the light hits it and brings out the colors of the wine.
It is a full 12" long so if space is a problem this might not be for you. When the wine is gone I rinse it immediately in cool water (no soap)dry off the outside and turn it upside down to dry. Sometimes I roll a paper towel and slide it inside the handle to absorb any extra moisture and keep it from spotting. I am still looking for a drying rack for a duck decanter this size but frankly I don't think they make them that tall. Other than a quick swipe to keep dust off it that is all the care it takes.
I keep this on the counter and empty or full it never fails to raise comments on its unique beauty.
Description of Riedel Vinum Extreme 35-1/4-Ounce DecanterThe ultimate in decanting, this Vinum Extreme, with it's well-known "duck" shape, is a Riedel classic This unique duck-shaped decanter has a funnel-like neck for pouring wine in and a wide body that allows for excellent oxidation. Exposure to the air will awaken flavors and aromas in older wines and soften astringent flavors in young wines. When wine is oxidized, hosts can pour glasses through a narrow spout in the decanter?s "tail." As with the majority of Riedel?s fine wine glasses and accessories, this elegant decanter is mouth-blown of 24-percent full lead crystal, which shows wine?s natural brilliance and clarity. The decanter stands 6-5/8 inches tall and holds 35-1/4 ounces, which equals one entire bottle of wine. --Cristina Vaamonde
