Contrary to expectations, I found that CNdP rouge with some age worked fairly well with the less spicy dishes (a bit of a disaster with spicy sausages though).
Moroccan cuisine wine pairing??

Should I hazard a guess and say that Pete's "thematic" means he's heard more about semi-religious Musar "theme tastings" which are horizontal/vertical/diagonal, rather than just good ole Musar and food pairing tn's?
Regardless, and this is the last I'll say here (because I'm a fan of Musar, but no fanatic of any wine, really) that the rouge is very food friendly...in a way that brings to mind good pinot noir in it's earthy savory aspects and a hint of rhone ripeness, perhaps from the cinsault in the blend. Normal vintages don't carry the heat that CNdP does, so there's less to consider with the spices, and the acidity is always there.
