94+ points Stephen Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "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. (Oct 2020)"
94 points Ulrich Sautter (Falstaff): "Abundant savoury slate aromas, shattered rock, ripe apricot and meadow herbs. On the palate, elegant, lovely density, fine extract, delicate acidity, and nice tension marked by savoury minerality. Good ageing potential. (11/15/21)"
93+ points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 35 20. 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. (Oct 2020)"
