Tasting Notes

Bastei

2016 - Bastei Riesling GG
The #bastei is definitely a true bomb and maybe the best wine from the outstanding collection of @weingutdrcrusius. In the nose you have a great mix of ripe exotic fruits like pineapple and passion fruits, but also ripe peaches, with a fantastic spicy firestone minerality. On the palate powerful but still silky acidity dances with herbs and spices, deep minerality, everlasting finish with slight exotic notes and lots of great spiciness. Just love this wine! 

2015 - Bastei Riesling GG
The Bastei 2015 is more exotic in the fruit notes, it is the most spicy of all three with herbal elements in the nose, fine but very complex and characteristic. The palate is filled with minerality, well integrated acidity, light fruitiness and seems to stay forever. 

2015 - Bastei Riesling Beerenauslese
The #drcrusius #bastei #beerenauslese #2015 comes with a wicked sweet nose of raisins, honey, fig, exotic and yellow fruits like yellow plums, melon and apples, floral and herbal elements. A nose to fall in love with! On the palate creamy elegance, based on a spicy firestone-like minerality, sweet yellow apples, berries, pear, plum, also melon and mango. What a fruit basket. Still not heavy, still swinging elegance. If you can wait, do it. But this baby is ready to be enjoyed.

2012 - Bastei Riesling GG
Deep fire stone minerality in the nose, almost with hints of iron, smoky, fantastic spices, great herbs, slight vanilla, slight exotic fruit notes. On the palate ripe fruit notes mixed with spices and wood notes, smooth but crisp acidity, first hints of honey, deep minerality, slight smoke and vanilla again. Finishes elegant and everlasting with a great fruit-acidity-mix. Ready for the next sip?

The Mühlberg is the most graceful, citrus notes and stone fruits like nectarines define the fruit notes. The finish can be described with powerful grace.

2012 - Traiser Rotenfels Riesling Auslese
We let it breathe for a while so all the great element of this fresh and mouthwatering Auslese come through. The nose is filled with herbs and candied lime and citrus, spices, cassis and red currant come with the breathing, caramel as well. On the palate a spectacular mix of ripe mango, apricots and rhubarb, elegant and creamy, wonderful spices from the firestone-like minerality, long, long, long…

Norheimer in der Kirschheck

2017 - Norheimer in der Kirschheck Riesling
The nose is very fresh, nice fruity touch with some cherries and fresh apples, slightly floral, beautiful spices, very slight touch of smoke give more character. The palate starts dry with a crisp acidity, quite smooth though, nice spicy minerality. Finishes nicely with lemon peel, some spices and a minimum of residual sweetness, very animating.

It starts very reluctantly: Fine, fresh minerality in the nose, quite soft, spicy, slight exotic fruit. But as soon as it hits the palate the high complexity explodes, great minerality as if you would have the stone in your mouth, very energetic but elegant at the same time... Huge wine!
