Out of the bottle this was downright savory--minerally and almost salty--but it has opened up nicely in the glass: smokey slate, black pepper, and green apple swirl together, and it finishes with a quinine bite and some ripe pear. Not the lafon from the same appellation, but I don't think it's supposed to be. There's plenty of complexity here.
