They were analysed at 1 and 2 years of age. The contribution of free anthocyanins, copigmented anthocyanins and polymeric pigments to the colour of wine, and the total phenols were determined. Moreover, coloured anthocyanins, total anthocyanins, percentage of total anthocyanins in coloured form and chemical age factor, and the chromatic characteristics of the wines were determined. The contribution to colour due to copigmented anthocyanins in these aged red wines remained at 22.3 and 18.5% (mean values) after 1 and 2 years of age, respectively, and the free anthocyanins at 37.0 and 32.5%. A comparison between the results obtained by Somers and Boulton methods has been established. © Springer-Verlag 2007.
