Tasting notes
Bottled in November, the 2019 Marienburg Fahrlay Reserve is clear, intense and purely slatey on the iodine and lemon-scented, crunchy nose. Lush and generous yet refined and saline on the palate, this is a crystalline, refined and elegant, pure, saline and juicy Riesling with generous, very intense and sustainable fruit. A spectacularly good wine. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.

The 2019 Marienburg GG Fahrlay is perfectly ripe and concentrated on the densely aromatic nose that intertwines ripe, intense and flinty fruit with fascinating notes of crushed stones and herbs, yet everything is already marvelously interwoven and balanced as well as pure, precise and crystalline, with lemon zest notes. Full-bodied, intense and crystalline on the palate, this is a rich, concentrated, perfectly ripe and aromatic Fahrlay with a long, intense, elegant, crystalline and persistently salty finish. This would be rich and bolder if there were no old vines in blue slate. This is an impressive wine that was bottled just a few days before I tasted it in September 2020.
