2006

Description

While the 2005 Tappa Pass graced the palate with immediate accessibility upon release, its 2006 counterpart adopts a more enigmatic character, unveiling itself slowly with subtle nuances of asphalt that gracefully temper the vibrant floral and mocha aromas. Within its medium to full-bodied frame, this Shiraz offers a symphony of complexity, weaving together intricate threads of blackberry, coffee, and roasted meat. This flavorful tapestry is anchored by firm tannins and lively acidity, signaling a wine that begs for patience and rewards with each passing year. An invitation to embark on a journey of aging and evolution, this wine promises its zenith somewhere between 2015 and 2025.

Review

Whereas the 2005 Tappa Pass was accessible upon release, the 2006 is somewhat closed, with hints of asphalt dampening the floral and mocha aromas. It's a medium to full-bodied Shiraz loaded with complex notes of blackberry, coffee and roasted meat, followed up with firm tannins and acids, suggesting at least 3–4 years of cellaring. Drink 2015–2025.

Tasting Profile

Nose
Deep crimson with bright purple hues. Intense and spicy aromas of briary blackberry, blueberry, plum, violets and crushed herbs, with hints of sage, black pepper and leather.
Palate
The palate is rich and lush, with concentrated raspberry, plum and blackcurrant fruit, moving through to more complex flavours of dark chocolate, ground coffee and a hint of anise, balanced by fresh and lifted acidity, and an elegant finish of long, fine-grained, velvety tannins.
