“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

This is more of an art piece than anything. It is a beautiful deanter, and does a good job of decanting as well.

Decanting wine is not as complicated or wine-snobbish as it sounds. In fact, if you're enjoying a particularly good, old bottle of wine on a special occasion, you'll want to perform this step to maximize the wine's taste and aroma and separate out the dregs. Open the wine several hours before you plan to drink it, then pour into the decanter. This wil allow the wine to "breathe" and open up, and will also make sure any sediment is left in the decanter, not your glass.
