96 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Marienburg Auslese Falkenlay is pure and spicy on the slatey nose, representing very clear, fresh and healthy fruit along with some minty notes at this early stage. On the palate, this is a very delicate and playful Auslese with finely racy acidity and a really piquant and salty finish. Very stimulating and not sticky at all. Tasted from AP 1620 in May 2020. Drink: 2025-2060. (Aug 2020)"
96 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "A huge Auslese that remains so cool and fine. thanks to the live-wire acidity and a ton of minerality. Then suddenly, a ton of blossoms land on the palate at the powerful finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold. (9/16/20)"
95 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 16 20. The 2019er Marienburg Falkenlay Riesling Auslese, as it is referred to on the main part of the consumer label, was made from a selection of partially (10%) botrytized fruit picked at 115° Oechsle in this sector of the vineyard on grey slate and was fermented down to noble-sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers a gorgeous nose made of mango, cassis, baked pineapple, almond cream, tea, smoke, and fine spices. The wine develops quite some impact on the palate as racy as some creamy notes honeyed almond and apricot are coated with lime zest and bergamot. It leaves one with an almost BA-styled unctuousness in the racy and structured finish. This gorgeous dessert wine combines impact with delineation! 2029-2059. (Oct 2020)"
