Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2020 “Aux Boudots” pours, a deep, ruby color with a nearly opaque core; medium viscosity, with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is youthful with notes of ripe red and some black fruits: raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, red flowers, forest floor, licorice, gentle warm spices, and ferrous minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. I think this vintage of Chezeaux’s 1er crus, regardless of vineyard, still need time. Better after 2030 and probably good through 2045.
