This elegant new Sommeliers Black Tie Face To Face wine decanter from Riedel is designed to pair with the Riedel Sommeliers Black Tie stemware, but can easily stand alone as your most favored decanter or modern art piece. Hand-made and mouth-blown, this lead crystal decanter features graceful, elegant lines, and, inverted into each side of the decanter are the forms of two profiles. A beautiful black accent line is blown seamlessly into the body of the vessel, and runs down one side and through the profile of one face. Functionally, the additional forms inside this decanter, create even more surface area than a typical decanter, creating a wonderful space for your wine to open up to its full potential. Delight your guests and serve them a lovely red wine in this visual masterpiece.

The graceful, soaring decanter features two concave profiles facing one another in the interior of the vessel. This innovative element doubles as both a bold design and as paddles. By shaking the wine until a foam cap develops, it achieves the maximum effect of oxygen on young tannins. The result is more satisfying, intense fruitiness on the mid-palate and a more rounded texture.
