“The 2018er Marienburg BA, as it is referred to on the main part of the label, was harvested at a full 165° Oechsle from a selection of botrytized fruit and was fermented down to fully noble-sweet levels of residual sugar (240 g/l). It offers an ample and engaging nose made of fig, plum, melon, pineapple, lemongrass, and lots of honeyed and smoky flavors, all wrapped into a whiff of volatile acidity which quickly blows away. The wine is gorgeously suave and creamy on the still remarkably sweet palate but it already hints at some stunning underlying elements of pineapple, almond paste, and fine spices. The finish is creamy, rich, and superbly multi -layered. This is a stunning small TBA in the making, but one which will require a lot of time to integrate its sweetness. 2033-2068” 97 Mosel Fine Wines
“The 2018 Marienburg Beerenauslese Fahrlay (from vat 1887) offers a clear, refined and intense bouquet of perfectly ripe stone fruits intertwined with an elegant, very delicate slate aroma. Playful and filigreed on the palate, this is a beautifully refined and noble BA with a crystalline, sustainable structure and lingering, almost mouthwatering salinity. A fabulous and stimulating sweet wine from the Fahrlay plot. Tasted from AP 24 19 in July 2020.” 96 Stephan Reinhardt
