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.
