This decanter for older wines (and all spirits) is the smaller one in the picture, with the stopper.

We are in love with Jancis Robsinson's One Wine Glass.

While, unlike the glasses, Jancis Robinson's Two Wine Decanters make no claim to enhance the visceral pleasure of consuming; they are functional and beautiful. The older wine decanter is smaller, for when your primary objective is to get wine off sediment, not aeration.

The lovely stopper further reduces aeration and also renders the decanter suitable for longer term storage and display of spirits. It also functions as an elegant vessel for water, on a table or nightstand.

Jancis Robinson & Richard Brendon Description

I have spent 42 years trying to make wine as approachable and as pleasurable as possible and sincerely believe that just one glass for all wines makes perfect practical sense. So, I proposed to Richard Brendon that, if we were to design a wine glass together, it should be just one size and shape. Gossamer-thin glass with a particularly thin rim puts the taster in as close communication with the liquid as possible, so my glass had to be individually mouth-blown by skillful, experienced artisans

We also wanted to offer decanters as part of the range, recognising that the sort of decanter suitable for young wine is very different from what is needed for old wine. For old wines, decanting is needed just to separate the mature wine from its sediment and then, in many cases, one wants to minimise contact with air, so we have designed a much narrower, less generous decanter, again echoing the shape of the wine glass, with a lovely (optional) stopper depending on how fragile you feel the wine is. This works beautifully as a water carafe.
