An Odd Little Tip Top Shiraz

Tip Top 2004 Shiraz, a wine recommended by my local shop, Plumpjack, is a strange wine. I think I really should start articulating my needs to the locals because this is the second bum recommendation in a row.
Tiip Top wasn't all bad. I found it juicy in the mouth - a big raspberry, fruity taste -- but the finish just ruined the wine for me. Every swallow came with a bitter, acrid aftertaste. I kept tasting it over and over to see if the aftertaste would disappear because I liked having the wine in my mouth. It didn't.
Tip Top is from the Limestone Coast of Australia. It has a screw top (My husband, more of a wine snob than I, hates the whole screw top thing). I probably won't buy this one again.
