A labor of love, Riedel's Bliss decanter displays a rotund foundation with an off-center heart stamped from each side, thus compressing the crystal into a thin pane of solid glass. This innovative design forces the wine to pool around the element while providing a place for the fingers to rest as the wine flows out of the decanter into a waiting glass. Like the rest of the Black Tie collection, Bliss is dressed up with a black tuxedo stripe that extends gracefully from top to bottom. This daring decanter is mouth-blown and formed by hand without the use of molds, making each a unique work of art.
Decanting old wines, just a few moments before they are served, helps to ensure that the wines clarity and brilliance are not obscured by any deposit that may have developed over time. Decanting young wines several hours before they are served gives the wine a chance to bloom and attain a stage of development that normally requires years of aging.(Thoughts on decanting by Christian Moueix)

The Amadeo Black Tie Decanter shares the same graceful lyre form as the Amadeo decanter, but adds a distinctive difference. Its flawless clear crystal body is articulated with a single slender black tuxedo stripe that lovingly follows the contours of its stylized U-shaped silhouette. A prime example of streamlined chic, this decanter is a marvelous companion to Riedel's Sommeliers Black Tie glasses, with their black stems and clear bases for red wine and clear stems and black bases for white.

With its soft curves, the Riedel Smile decanter's sultry form makes it a superb addition to any collection. The decanter's inverted heart-shaped base makes it effortless to hold in the palm of the hand and easy to pour. Starting from the narrow opening at the top, Black Tie's signature tuxedo line descends dramatically to the bottom. This daring decanter is mouth-blown and formed by hand without the use of molds, making each a unique work of art.

Seemingly defying gravity, Riedel's Touch decanter rests confidently on an asymmetrically bulb-shaped base and features a ridge that tapers into an elegantly angled neck. This ridge, adorned with a chic ribbon of black crystal, effectively acts as an integrated handle, guaranteeing a comfortable grip in the hand.

The Riedel Black Tie Decanter is 'free blown', meaning the glass blower forms it by hand without the aid of a mold. A rod of black crystal (colored by manganese oxide) is introduced while the glass is molten. The length of the hollow glass piece is determined by the arm span of the glass blower. Only an extremely talented glassblower can successfully sculpt these creations, and each decanter is slightly different and one of a kind. Classic, curved, and arguably crucial to wine enjoyment, Riedel's Black Tie decanter makes decanting a joy from poured in to pour out.

The graceful, soaring Riedel Face to Face 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.
