The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Le Bijou du Roi is deep garnet-purple in color. Plum pudding, fruit cake, and warm cassis scents jump from the glass, giving way to hints of Chinese five spice, incense, dusty soil, and fallen leaves. The concentrated, full-bodied palate is chock full of fragrant baked berries flavors with a plush texture and lively backbone to balance, finishing long and layered.
