Blackberry and raspberry on the nose, with a strong hint of iodine (like an Islay Scotch). On the palate: smooth, full-bodied red fruit with capsicum and oregano. A bit strange, but not in a bad way. I know Bin 555 is cheap, so I was surprised to find out that that's what I was drinking.

Non-blind. Last glass from 'glass-bottle'. Dark purple. Nose: THIS IS AJAX! Palate also has AJAX. However, it doesn't transform me in to the smiling cleaning housewife, but a guy that says: "Bluargh". AJAX aside, (but it is everywhere) this is a somewhat serious and balanced attempt at making an Aussie style Shiraz from average grapes (...and a bottle of AJAX.) High level of acids and some coarse/bitter tannin add a bonus element of interest. Fruit: ok. AJAX: too much. This is almost ok.

I had a glass of this with a strip steak at Wolf's 1-11 in Colonie NY. The steak was very good. The wine was too sweet for my taste.

Very fruity wine with taste of oak, hints of blackberry and the classic eucalyptus.
