{"product_id":"riedel-veritas-cabernet-merlot-mosel-decanter","title":"RIEDEL Veritas Cabernet \/ Merlot  4 Glass \u0026  Decanter Set","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFour glasses shaped for Cabernet and Merlot, and a decanter that takes a full bottle with room to move. Riedel introduced Veritas in 2014: the bowls follow the hand-blown Sommeliers shapes, blown thin by machine so they can be made to the same measurements every time. They are light, and lighter than they look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlasses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe bowl is tall and comparatively narrow, drawing in to a cut rim. Cabernet and Merlot carry firm tannin and a lot of aroma; the shape holds that aroma over the wine and delivers it in a narrow stream rather than all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 625ml, the bowl is larger than most people expect. Fill it to the widest point — around a third — and no further. That is the pour the shape is built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDecanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Mosel is 1,320ml, so a 750ml bottle sits well below the shoulder with air above it and room to swirl. Young Bordeaux and Bordeaux blends benefit from an hour in it; older bottles want less, and want decanting mainly to leave the sediment behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Bordeaux blends, across the Médoc, Pauillac, Margaux, St Julien, St Estèphe, Pessac-Léognan, Pomerol and St Émilion.
