The 2014 Santenay "Cuvée S" has a slightly introspective, black fruit and tar-scented nose that feels a little rustic but has what you might call a simplistic charm. The palate is medium-bodied with cranberry and blackberry notes that feel saline in the mouth. I like the freshness here, and though not as complex as the nascent 2015 or a recently tasted 2013, there is a pleasurable sour cherry vein on the finish that says: "C'mon... come back for another sip." Tasted December 2016.
