Log in / Sign up Henschke Tappa Pass Shiraz 2006
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.
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.
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.
