A Big Top special. Better than average kangaroo wine, and a bargain at $4 clearance. A wine to drink when you don't want to open the better stuff in your cellar, but you just want a glass of wine.

Another deep, full flavored, Aussie value priced Shiraz blend that tastes a bit manipulated, but basically delivers. Pretty close to full bodied. Deep dark color. By no means a fruit bomb. Actually a little short in the fruit department. Mushrooms, alcohol, blackberry on the nose. The fruit is overpowered by an artificial acidity, but still has some merit. Plenty of acid. Moderate tannins. Some slight green pepper influence. Not much influence from oak. Swirling, and some time in the glass bring things to life. The finish is too much acid from 50# bags. But. we finished the bottle.

Initially had a lot of pepper, but mellowed after time into an enjoyable wine. Good value. did not decant.
