A sleeper, under-the-radar vintage that the critics wrote off but has turned out to be a classic restrained, more subtle #Riesling success! #ClemensBusch #Marienburg

Deep golden colour.
Rich, intense and off-dry (APnr 21-09; so it’s not the GG-bottling from this plot).
Mature, warm, glowing and inviting notes of honeysuckle, yellow curry-spice, white raisins, old foudres, peche melba, marzipan and some musky, hay-like outdoor aromas Drink now, as it won’t improve.

Light golden colour. Mature Riesling nose. Firne, slate, hyacinth, orange blossom, citrus zest and oriental spices leap out of the glass.
On the palate this is unusually (for the Mosel and for the vintage as well) rich, concentrated, almost fatty in mouthfeel. Yet it remains in balance remarkably well. Very floral and tropical in its aromatics, this is not your typical dry Mosel wine. Actually, it's not legally trocken, more a feinherb kind of wine. Busch's wines only resemble those of Heymann Löwenstein in style; I see some parallels in their concentration, balance, richness, spicyness, yes uniqueness. What a gorgeous wine....!
This year this wine had 2 versions. One barrel fermented to a Trocken wine and was labelled "Falkenlay GG". The second barrel stopped earlier so a Feinherb remained. This was labelled "Falkenlay (Erste Lage)".
