As others have said, it's not overly complex but it's a fine enough quaffing wine.

The initial nose tells you this wine is really hot, and it certainly is at 14.9% alcohol. The nose tames to give some spice and fruit. The taste is unexpected and pleasant. Vanilla, cinnamon, pepper, and berry. There is some oak. I would have it again.

It's interesting. Certainly not a typical PS; I liked a prior reviewer's notation that it's "big but not over the top." It's not quite as tannic, not quite as thick, and not quite as dark as other PS's I've had lately. However, contra other reviewers, I got a mouthful of oak on my first taste. I also don't think it's quite as hot as other have found it either, though. This could work with food quite well: BBQ ribs would be a perfect companion.
