2022 Weingut Clemens Busch Marienburg Fahrlay Riesling Großes Gewächs

Mosel Saar Ruwer more

4/13/2024 - Ernestas Likes this wine: 92 points

One of the top single vineyards from Clemens, elegant and pure expression of terroir. Fermented in old large oak barrels for 10 months. Pale straw colour, green hue. Intense aroma of white apricots, wild flowers, wet stone, pears, bergamot. Palate is velvety and elegant, feels bit closed, requires another 3-5 years in bottle. Savoury and spicy flavours intertwined with stone fruits and mineral stony and flinty notes, well integrated medium+ soft acidity.

One of the single vineyards from renowned Mosel producer. Just like all Riesling of Clemens it is pure, polished and signed by envious elegance. Fermented and later aged in large old oak barrels for 9 months. Pale straw colour, green hue. Medium+ intensity aroma of green apple, lemon zest, apricots, wet stone, smoky hibts. Medium body, slightly spicy and tense with light structure but ripe and juicy fruits, pleasantly astringent, medium+ acidity.

Smells rich and lemony with a light touch of creme fraiche in the background. High acidity, without being shrill. Body is medium with a small amount of viscosity that is nonetheless noticeable. The initial flavors are where this wine shine- fresh and baked lemons, custard, slate rocks, a wonderful subtle caramel that is starting to creep in that is super delicious. Very well made and just starting to move out of its primary phase. Perfect spot to drink for my palate, though it will hold for a while yet.

This improved with about an hour of air and a higher temperature than I started with. If I were to guess I’d say 50-55 Fahrenheit.

It was really stunning, nose of petrol, peaches, and apricots. Palate of the same plus wet stone. Really rich oily mouthfeel. High acidity and quite effervescent made it much better with slightly spicy middle eastern food than on its own. One of the better dry Mosul Rieslings I’ve tried.

We were surprised to find such a ripe wine in this magnum. In color as well as aroma, we would have expected this to be a warmer vintage in the 2000s and not a 13. Not a bad Riesling at all, but a bit disappointing and not what I expected from this premium and rather cool vintage. Possible this bottle was a bit off, but we couldn’t identify any other issues with it.

A beautiful nose of petrol, white flowers, and stone fruit - it’s quite a bit more floral than other Mosel Rieslings I’ve had, but in an unexpectedly pleasant way. On the palate, it’s got loads of minerality, stone fruit, and decent acidity, however I agree with other reviewers that the acidity doesn’t quite cut through the rs here, making the experience a bit cloying.

Looks like this is my 1,000th TN! And the wine was really good. A bottle bought at the winery 9 years ago. Definitely worth the wait. Subtle but interesting, very little RS, if any. Smooth and long.

Absolutely rocking this evening. A yellow/gold/green color promises something impactful. The nose follows with baked apple, marzipan and slate. Early complexity. The aroma is more purfume than raw power. The wine glides across the palate yet covers every crevice. Beautifully balanced with a mineral/acid hit on the finish that begs for another sip. Should provide glorious drinking for the next 10 years. Lovely! (94)

Opened for about 1/2h, high end natural cork, 12% Alc., yellow color, high viscosity.

Nose: Classic Moselle, yellow fruit and apricot, fresh.

Palate: Good freshness, white currant, nice saltiness. Undoubtedly Moselle, not the power of GG Rieslings from Palatinate or Rheinhessen but still concentrated and quite dry tasting with the elegance, charme and easiness of Moselle. Bottle was quickly emptied, 93-94 Pts.

Very nice Riesling. Green apple and pear, crisp but sweet. Lemon curd. And a green herb note (Tarragon?). Sweet green pear lingers on the finish. Lovely acid on the finish as well. Enjoyable now, but can hold for more complexity.

Lovely nose with oranges, citrus, minerals, and perhaps a slight oxidative note. Nice, refreshing acidity on the palate with similar flavors. It doesn't have lots of depth but the flavors are reasonably complex and interesting. Really enjoyable wine that is perfect with food. I'd be happy to drink this any day.

3/16/2024 - wlsch Likes this wine: 90 points

PnP. Tight and lean on opening. Nose has some grapefruit and lemon citrus, apricot and peach, crushed stone. Medium-light body, medium acidity, long finish. I opened a 2022 Grey Slate a couple of weeks ago and it was equally tight and closed the first day but really bloomed on days two and three. This is fairly primary right now, but I really think this needs some bottle age to really show itself. I'll be buying more, but will try not to open this for at least 2-3 years. I think this has a lot of potential but is really too young at this point.

PnP. Petrol, peach, apricot, crushed stone. The stone fruit has a honeyed quality to it. Good body, good acidity considering it's from what's considered a lower acid, riper vintage. Rich, viscous, good intensity. Has a touch of sweetness in the finish but it's well balanced by the acidity. Seems like it's just starting to open. Clearly on the young side and has years ahead of it.

Sehr satt goldgelbe Farbe.

In der Nase viel gelbes Steinobst, am ehesten Mirabelle und Reineclaude. Dazu nach wie vor sehr deutlich hefegeprägt, mit gewisser einnehmender Wärme und mit dunkler, etwas feuersteinig-funkelnder Mineralik. Vor allem mit viel Luft etwas wachsig und etwas petrolig, trotzdem aber sehr lebendig dabei.

Am Gaumen zusätzlich mit recht saftiger Säure, reichlich Zug und einem schönen, feinen Griff. Anfangs wirkt das sehr trocken, mit etwas Luft zeigt sich durchaus etwas Schmelz, allerdings hat das eine wunderbare Balance. Auch hier minimal wachsig, allerdings fügt sich das sehr gut in die Haptik des Weins ein.

Auch im (langen!) Abgang greift das sehr schön nach und ist sehr animierend.

Der Wein war anfangs etwas verschlossen, öffnete sich nach Karaffieren aber sehr schön. Über drei Tage getrunken steht der Wein sehr stabil da, die letzte Flasche ist irgendwann bis Mitte 2026 fällig.

The nose was flat upon opening and that along with the golden brown color - I thought I missed the wine by five years or so. But a little air and it’s quite alive, an hour in and it’s vibrant even. It’s very intense on the palate with sweetness and stone fruit, and also acidity. Good wine that I found myself not wanting to drink a lot of - just so sweet at this stage.

PnP. Nose is peach, citrus, crushed stone, some lower level petrol notes. Palate has similar fruit notes, but has a lot of saline and slate. Finishes dry with medium acidity+. The mineral notes and saline really shine in the long finish. Taut and racy, but also bright and fresh. While this approachable now (if you like slightly leaner wines), I think this be best after 2027.

3/2/2024 - Eudemis Does not like this wine: NR

12.5% alcohol. The cork is average in length and slightly above average in quality. The colour is pale gold with a luminous quality.
The first nose shows yellow plum and good complexity, but upon swirling the dreaded petrochemical aromas overwhelm everything, and in this case it is unmistakably turpentine, oh God why was I not warned about this ? The mouth is more acceptable with very good acidity; no fruit worth talking about but good concentration of floral and mineral flavours.
I can see that there is a lot to this wine but it is clearly not for me; I prefer my paint thinners on a brush.

Yellow. Stone fruit aromas. Medium body, lots of glycerine, though. Barely off dry impression, dried peach, a twist of grapefruit, excellent acidity, and stone dust bringing up the rear. This seems to be at the start of a decades long drinking window. Wonderful Mosel trocken with outstanding persistence.

Another wine to remind one that 'the spirit is supreme, where the wild thing roam' (Electric Ocean, The Cult). Naturally, as a dialectical materialist I reject the notion, for I am therefore I think, not I think therefore I am (or in my case, I stink, therefore I am). The circumstances in which we live are supreme, where the class struggle roams. That is kind of catchy, isn't it?

Well, whatever one thinks of the versions of existence set out above, this wine is damned fine. It really hasn't changed much since 2019 when I first slammed it. The combination of taught ginger flower and restrained fruit blossoming over time into exuberant ripe tropicals and slate is almost more than my senses can handle.

I am a bit surprised by the accurate but somewhat bloodless reviews on site, but such is life. For me, it is as Woody Guthrie wrote 'This machine kills Fascists'. Sadly, this is their time. They won and now we just watch their factions argue over the spoils, with only Clemens Busch to redeem us.
