Stayed away from a lot of 12 CDP but this was a deal i couldn't refuse here. Nose was very muted on initial cork pop and never really developed. Palate of this one after an hour was starting to come around. Tobacco, some dirty bing cherry, rose petal, dried oregano and sage notes with an acidic and slightly minty type of finish. Just wasn't a lot of it here. Medium bodied. Enjoyable. Not exactly sure what to do with the other 2 but probably would benefit from a few years in bottle.
