99 points Stephen Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Marienburg Felsterrasse offers perfectly ripe and concentrated yet refined, finely slatey and perfectly ripe fruit aromas with delicate lemon juice and herbal aromas. A stunning beauty! Silky, crystalline, lush and intense yet highly finessed and elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, rich and very intense yet playful, saline and finessed Riesling with power and concentration and a very long, hedonistic yet always elegant and balanced finish. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022. Drink: 2025-2060. (Aug 2022)"

97 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "So much red-fleshed vineyard-peach character makes this very attractive, but there are also honeysuckle, fennel and cumin notes. Very succulent, but no less serious on the generous yet precisely delineated palate. Long, graceful finish with a degree of gentleness that makes this Mosel masterpiece very easy to enjoy. From 95-year-old vines. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold. (10/5/21)"
94 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 24 21. The 2020er Marienburg Felsterrasse, as it is referred to on the main part of the label, is legally dry wine (with 8 g/l of residual sugar) fermented spontaneously in traditional oak casks from fruit harvested late in a prime terraced part of the grey-slate Falkenlay sector and which underwent an extended maturation on its lees. It offers a beautiful and subtly creamy nose driven by pear, vineyard peach, earthy spices, a dash of whipped cream, star fruit, ginger, plum, and fine smoke. The wine is juicy and also nicely smooth on the palate and leaves a superbly precise and zesty feel of orchard fruits, fine spices, and herbal elements in the beautifully tart finish. The aftertaste is precise and hugely focused. This is a gorgeous wine in the making! 2028-2040. (Nov 2021)"
