Description
“The 2021er Marienburg GG Falkenlay, 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 hugely smoky nose of greengage, grapefruit, anise, herbs, lavender, prune, almond, pear, and anise. The wine shows initially quite some yellow and ripe fruits on the palate, which gives it a comparatively smooth side, yet the acidity and spices then join the party and give pep and freshness to the whole experience. The finish proves racier and sharper. This great GG needs a few years to fully integrate its elements and shine. 2026-2036” 93 Mosel Fine Wines
“The 2021 Marienburg GG Falkenlay is deep, clear and refined on the complex and flinty, iodine and herbal nose. Round and rich yet elegant and refined on the palate, this is a full-bodied yet delicate and elegant Falkenlay with fine acidity and tannin grip on the long and intense finish. Tasted as a sample at the domaine in July 2022.” 95-96 Stephan Reinhardt
