Wine and music have always paired well, so perhaps that’s the inspiration for Riedel’s Amadeo Lyra decanter. Shaped like a lyre, a predecessor of the guitar dating back to ancient Greece, this elegant vessel can help transform wines old and young. Each Lyra is mouth blown, and the shape is so complex that only one artisan at Riedel is entrusted with creating these delicate decanters. Lovely enough to display as an objet d’art, the Lyra will improve your wines: decant older bottles to leave the sediment behind, and decant younger ones, especially tannic reds, to aerate and soften the wine.
