Riedel Amadeo Decanter (P/N 1756/13). Decanting old wines just a few moments before they are served helps to ensure that the wines' clarity and brilliance are not obscured by deposits and sediment. Decanting young wine several hours before they are served allows the wine to bloom and attain a stage of development that normally requires years of aging. Made from lead-free crystal.

How does the quality of Riedel's new lead-free crystal compare to its 24% lead crystal glass?
Riedel recently began the process of converting all of its glassware from lead to lead-free glass crystal, and eventually all of Riedel's glassware will be lead-free. We compared lead vs the lead-free (Sommelier Bordeaux Grand Cru glasses side by side, and found it difficult to distinguish between the glasses. It seemed like the lead-free glasses had thinner stems and rims, while the 24% lead glasses seemed slightly heaver in the hand. There was no discernable difference in the balance, clarity or construction of the glasses.

Good and bad
by Ben A.
The Amadeo decanter has an incredible "wow" factor - as a gift, it's sure to get "oohs" and "ahs", and it's beatiful crystal, almost like a piece of art. But the functionality of the decanter is not as good as more traditional decanters. You need to turn the decanter almost upside downto get the wine to pour out, and it's a very delicate piece of glass. I think this is a great product for special occasions, but I wouldn't recommend it for everyday use.
