We did not manage to finish the red wines the other night and since nobody was interested in taking the unfinished bottles home, I finished them off at dinner the next evening. I suppose they would have been opened for the best part of 24 hours and they were just left at room temperature after arriving home, because my fridges as well as my Eurocaves were full.
The Chinon and the Clau de Nell Grolleau both fared better than the Clau de Nell Cabernet Franc. Those two basically maintained their form from the night before, whilst the Cab Franc had shown signs of tiredness, though holding better than quite a few wines I can think of.There was a touch more astringency, but no noticeable increase in acidity, whilst the fruit was only a touch diminished from the night before. All three did better than quite a few wines many times their price.
