  (Ott Grüner Veltliner Rosenberg) ($61.00) Bernhard’s monument and my GV of the 2011 vintage. It’s a full-bodied wine, a thick wine, sometimes showing aromas like a Cotat Sancerre. The ‘11 is green-ripe and dusk-dark, mysteriously luminous and serious; it’s the last green song before the apotheosis, entirely unlike the Stein, more deeply lined and carved, more profound; a borealis of mineral flashes away — and yet still, a grip and focus unlike most ‘11s. ++
