95 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 40 20. The 2018er Marienburg Fahrlay Réserve, as it is referred to on the main part of the label, was fermented spontaneously in traditional oak casks with fruit harvested on a blue slate sector of the Marienburg vineyard and left on its gross lees for 24 months before being bottled (hence the late AP number). It offers an herbal and spicy nose where fruity elements (including pear, melon, mirabelle, and greengage) only play a secondary role at the moment. The wine is beautifully intense and full of grip on the palate and leaves a feel of spices and ripe fruits in the long finish. The after-taste is smooth and quite lingering. 2023-2033. (Oct 2020)"
94+ points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2018 Marienburg Fahrlay Reserve is deep, intense and precise on the concentrated and aromatic nose that indicates perfectly ripe and elegant fruit. On the palate, this is a rich and elegant, very salty, piquant and tonic Fahrlay with fine tannin grip (12-15 hours of maceration) and still some astringency on the finish. Needs time. Tasted at the domain in September 2020. Drink: 2024-2036. (Oct 2020)"
