The yo preterit is regular?

Saboreé?
Because that seems slightly awkward.

I do not know if it is regular, but you spelled it correctly. :-)

Regular in a sense that it is not irregular . It's right

Saboreé is correct. However in spoken language (not written language), you will often hear saborié, because it's easier to pronounce. It is a non-standard usage, and should not be used in formal situations. This is applicable to most verbs that end in -ear.
