2015 Savigny Les Beaune Les Lavieres

Bright dark red. Perfumed, sappy scents of kirsch , black raspberry, cranberry, mint, licorice and violet. Densely packed wine with nicely concentrated flavors of black cherry, blackberry, spices, violet and bitter chocolate. Ripe acidity and firm, fine-grained tannins give the wine a good backbone for graceful evolution.

The 2015 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Lavières has a comely bouquet with raspberry and crushed strawberry scents, just a touch of vanilla coming from the oak yet it still exudes purity. The palate is well balanced with a rounded and supple entry. There is plenty of raspberry and strawberry fruit, although it needs just a little more structure to bolster the finish. That should come with time.
