" The 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Lavières is performing nicely from bottle, offering up a rich bouquet of blackberries, smoked meats, plums, spices and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and lavish, with a generous core of sun-kissed, almost opulent fruit that's framed by succulent acids and powdery tannins. This is another 2018 that bears a strong resemblance to a hypothetical blend of the 2003 and 2005 vintages."
