"Revisited in bottle, the 2020 Santenay Rouge Gravité has fulfilled all the potential it displayed from barrel. Mingling aromas of blackberries and cassis with hints of menthol, orange oil and exotic spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and velvety, with a fleshy, strikingly concentrated core of fruit that's framed by supple tannins, concluding with a long, saline finish. Gravité has always been a very ambitious cuvée, and now those ambitions are beginning to be more and more completely realized."
