The alchemy between spice and wine is always something that requires a little thought. One step in the wrong direction and your palate feels like its just come out the other side of an enforced 3 day layover in Dubai airport.
The usual rules of "like to match like" need to be thrown out the window, and instead one looks for contrasts , hyped up glycerine, or hints of sweetness without any kind of domination. Tannin is to be treated with scrupulous respect because something that purrs alongside a BBQ steak with literally scratch your eyes out against a Thai green curry for example.
