Riedel Decanter Mamba #6372 1950/19
The Riedel Mamba Decanter, crafted by hand in 2011, features a dramatic and sinuous design inspired by the shape of a mamba snake. With its striking curves and elongated silhouette, it's not only visually stunning but also functional—promoting aeration through its dynamic pouring motion, especially ideal for young, bold wines.
The handmade decanter distinguishes by an elegant and complex design. RIEDEL whole-heartedly believes all wines - young and old, red, white or sparkling - can be enhanced by decanting.

Features
Signature Silhouette: The Mamba is one of Riedel's most theatrical decanters, inspired by the Black Mamba snake. Its dramatic, elongated body and sweeping coils create a distinctive sculptural silhouette.
Double Decanting Effect: Its serpentine construction allows wine to travel through the winding form during pouring, creating an extended aeration process. Riedel describes this as a double decanting feature, making the act of serving part of the decanter's function.
Versatile Wine Use: Designed for wines of all ages, the Mamba can be used with young wines that benefit from aeration as well as mature wines requiring careful decanting.
Handmade Craftsmanship: Each Mamba is individually mouth-blown by master glassblowers. Small variations, bubbles or minor imperfections are natural characteristics of handmade crystal and contribute to the individuality of each piece.
Care Instruction
Cleaning: Handwash only.
Bottle Cleaner: Not recommended. Riedel specifically advises against using its Bottle Cleaner because the cleaning beads may become lodged inside the intricate shape.
Suitable for: Young and mature red wines, full-bodied wines, special-occasion wine service and collectors seeking a statement decanter. Its double-decanting design is particularly suited to wines that benefit from generous aeration.
