Don't usually get around these here parts but....still trying to learn...
Dark garnet-purple. Nose is dominated initially by lost of oak but with just a bit of air, the fruit comes out. Dark fruit with a sweet taste and a soft supple mouthfeel. Tannins in check but man this thing is a bit hot. The hotness is persistent. 14.6% ABV.......
Nice enough especially for the price. Got mine for about $12. Not for the current weather,...maybe leaving it for next summer's barbacue season.

I liked the 03. Will be on the lookout.

Bottle is settling down a bit, the dark sweet fruit is now front and center and there is a lingering Chocolate sensation to the wine. A bit of a steel high note. Still a bit hot at the end but not like the first bottle. Much better this time.

Generally like all things JG, including Three Thieves.

Heat has calmed down on this, and it's drinking very well right now -- just in time for summer BBQing. Anne liked it very much and consumed most of the bottle, so all I got were a few tastes to form a general opinion.
