97P+: Bottled in mid-September, the 2019 Marienburg GG Fahrlay Terrassen is deep, intense and pure on the nose that reveals a lemon-fresh bouquet of crushed stones intertwined with perfectly ripe and concentrated fruit. This is highly complex on the nose! Full-bodied, very intense and sustainable on the palate, this is an expressive terroir wine from 100-year-old vines on blue slate. Ripeness, richness and power are perfectly interwoven with the salty, crystalline and refined slate acidity, the depth and complexity of the Terrassen terroir. This is a great, persistent, powerful yet refined and structured wine that will be sold in a year but can be aged for 20 years or more. There are tonic flavors on the nose and and on the finish with aeration. A giant.

Bergamot, hvide asparges i flormelis, lime, skovmærke, hvide ribs og stensaft. Stokkene er 100 år gamle og giver uforceret frugtighed. Det er nærmest flydt ud af skiferbjergsiden, regnvand filtreret over århundreder, sunket ned i jordens dysterhed og har modtaget velsignelse af underverdenens guder, optaget af rødder og magisk omformet til frugtsukker og andre utrolige substanser, der ender i en slags inkarnation af tør moselriesling. Den brænder sig ind i sindet.
