As good as the Chapelle is

it is not the most powerful or massive Taylor's

with all the components in very good balance

spiced apple and overripe Persian melon dominate the Prum 2011 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese gold capsule

Tasted at the vertical tasting at Malartic-Lagravière

Shafer, Hillside Select Size:3x1.5L As good as the Chapelle(15. 5% alcohol), Dark red with ruby tones. Musky aromas of mocha, coffee, leather, licorice, creosote and herbs. Juicy and intense but without the explosive fruit of the 2010; a touch of asparagus gives the wine a greenness in the middle palate but there's also plenty of supporting dark fruit and graphite minerality. Doug Shafer noted that this fruit was picked at up to 26 degrees Brix, but I still find it a bit light. Finishes with chalky tannins
