29. Triada red 2007 / 2009 – Budimir winery

Triada Red
Budimir Winery
Placeholder

Color dark red with a little rust-red in the surface border. Smell: plum integrated with varietal herbaceous aromas of Prokupac and oak in background. Medium to full body. In the mouth expressed extract, very soft. Taste of plum, blackberry, pepper, discreet oak barrel and leather. Good rounded tannin. Medium finish, velvety, with mild acids, very pleasant.

What else? Seriously wine. One of the best representatives of "soft style" Prokupac wines here.

Vintage Notes

Vintage 2006: Amazing (unfortunately only available in the winery for selected guests).

Vintage 2008: More fruity, thinner body, with less tannin and less influence of barrel, and more fashionable (We are not really happy about the new style, but Mr. Parker recently gave him 89 points).

Vintage 2009: This is a totally different style, so maybe deserves a new name and label. On the other hand, the wine is very good, and for us, much better than vintage 2008. Quiet Prokupac with excellent balance of alcohol and mild acids. Very smooth. The body of medium to thin, taste of blackberry, wood, and smoke in the background. Nice medium long finish, fruit, oak, smoke, barely noticeable acidity. Light wine, just by our taste.

Vintage 2010: Gossip seems to be correct. The best grape went to “Lila”. Thin with strong acids; it’s not what we are used to when we speak about “Triada”.
