This has definitely improved with some time in the cellar. While still not a complex wine, it is a very pleasant and powerful Aussie Shiraz, which made a great match with Vegetable Lasagna. Although there was a bit of heat and oak on the finish when first opened, this dissipated with time. Definite improvement on the second night.

Opens up with that Pinot smoothness but a bit tart on the finish

Don't know if this was a bad bottle, but quite hot and drier than I recall
