Overview
Riedel made the Amadeo to mark its family's 250th anniversary, and the decanter takes the form of a harp with a curved U-shaped body. A full bottle goes into the wider side, and the narrower opening serves as the pour spout.
Artistry is the reason to buy: the shape is a display piece as much as a decanter, and it gives young or old wine room to develop before drinking. The size and tall profile need counter or table space, and the care guidance is contradictory.
Who it's for
Gift buyers and collectors who like a commemorative Riedel piece and enjoy decanting at the table. Everyday drinkers who want a small, rugged decanter for the dishwasher should choose a simpler shape.
Pros and cons
- Distinctive harp-shaped design
- Takes a full bottle
- Hand-made crystal construction
- Opens up young and old wines
- Care instructions conflict
- Tall profile needs room
- Mouth-blown crystal is delicate
Performance notes
Presenting a broad surface of wine to the air introduces oxygen, helping the wine develop. Pouring happens through the narrower opening, with the second side serving as a handle, and angled tops mark the rim.
