Dr. Crusius
The past five vintages have gone from strength to strength for Dr. Peter Crusius, especially for the drier styles that are so popular in Germany. Chiseled from the rocky soils on which the vines grow, these wines are often the most monolithic and austere of the great rieslings from the Nahe. Although 2011 is, as was 2009 before it, a touch more accessible, these are wines that merit patience. Buy two bottles each of this year's three Grosses Gewachs, compare them at purchase and then again in three years, and you'll begin to understand what makes this estate so special. Also recommended: 2011 Weisser Burgunder Trocken Kaffel (86), 2011 Traiser Weisser Burgunder, 2011 Traiser Weisser Riesling Trocken (86), 2011 Traiser Riesling Trocken (85), 2011 Traiser Rotenfels Riesling Trocken (87), 2011 Norheimer Kirschheck Riesling Trocken (88), 2011 Riesling Trocken Top of the Rock (88), 2011 Schlossbockelheimer Kupfergrube Riesling Kabinett (87), 2011 Schlossbockelheimer Felsenberg Riesling Beerenauslese (91), 2011 Niederhauser Felsensteyer Riesling Beerenauslese (91), 2011 Schlossbockelheimer Kupfergrube Riesling Beerenauslese Gold Capsule (93), 2011 Schlossbockelheimer Kupfergrube Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese (92).
