Description
“The 2019 Marienburg GG Falkenlay is rich and intense yet fine and very elegant on the delicate and subtle nose that is reminiscent of bacon-wrapped figs and concentrated, super ripe, if not overripe Riesling berries. Full-bodied and rich on the palate, this is a powerful yet elegant and even refined Falkenlay with a quite baroque expression this year. This was bottled a day before I tasted it at the domain in September 2020.” 94+ Stephan Reinhardt
“The 2019er Marienburg Falkenlay GG, as it is referred to on the main part of the label, was fermented spontaneously in traditional oak casks from fruit harvested in a grey-slate infused part of the Marienburg vineyard. It offers a superb nose made of cassis, pear, citrusy fruits, a hint of whipped cream, licorice, minty herbs, and fine spices. The wine proves subtly creamy yet also gorgeously precise and zesty on the spice-infused palate and leaves an ample yet finely chiseled feel of orchard fruits, spices, and herbs in the long and lingering finish. Zesty elements add a sense of grip and sharpness to the after-taste at this stage. This beautiful expression of dry Riesling could well prove remarkable if it keeps its juicy and alluring side at maturity! 2024-2034” 93+ Mosel Fine Wines
