TN: 2016 Domaine du Gour de Chaulé Gigondas Cuvée Tradition

  • 2016 Domaine du Gour de Chaulé Gigondas Cuvée Tradition - France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Gigondas (7/25/2022)
    One of those dreaded room service choices here in Telluride. At first open this had very little scent and was heavily front loaded on pallet - no finish. After a little while in glass, it starts to transform and by the end of it all it wasn’t bad. There’s a slight port-like note that comes with a bit of time in the glass, which I actually didn’t mind and supposedly goes with the regions reputation for power. In the end I’d still say it’s a bit short on finish, but yet doesn’t seem to lack in acid (which is normally what I associate with short finishes). I’d drink it again if offered, but probably wouldn’t buy it myself. (89 pts.)
