Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Augustus Reserva Trajanus is deep ruby with some reddish tinges. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Rather complex and nuanced, this blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo and Merlot suggests some smokey and toasted notions, a dash of black fruit and a bouquet of flowers, giving way to aromas of spices, toffee and vanilla. In the background, some earthy and mineral remembrances and aromas of aromatic herbs and Havanna cigars. |
| Palate | Complex, full-bodied and intense, the texture of this wine from Augustus winery is smooth, and acidity is excellent. Tannins are ripe, and finish is very long, with remembrances of spices, fruit and some smokey and mineral notes. |
| Our personal opinion | Distinguished and age-worthy, the wine Augustus Reserva Trajanus 2019 is a serious wine. Pair with hearty dishes. |

Emperor
Deep, smooth, nicely textured and exquisitely balanced. It has an international flair, but the intensity reveals its Mediterranean origin. Judicious use of oak, rewardingly fresh and very long.
