Dude. We we’re eating Indian when we opened this bottle & it was the most perfect thing with the cuisine on the table. It’s mineral, it’s acid driven, it’s flavorful, there’s the right amount of RS with a refreshing zippiness that just kept me coming back for more. — 5 years ago
Dry but so rich and deep, flinty, touch of petroleum. Very lively. — 7 years ago
Floral, medium bodied, super food friendly in a shapely bottle. — 8 years ago

17/20 (92/100) Сладкий аромат с тонами яблочного и абрикосового варенья, лимонного мармелада и мёда. Умеренная кислотность, едва справляется с балансом. Неплохо. — 6 years ago

Big fan of Riesling. Paring with prawn marinated in rice vinegar. — 7 years ago
Rich, unctuous and concentrated dry Riesling, but - kudos to the 2008 acidity - by no means flabby. Great tension, slatey minerals and deep orange fruit notes (tangerine, peach and guave). A very delicate hint of savoury crustaceans really adds to the complexity! Beautiful wine. — 7 years ago
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)". — 7 years ago

Perfect ripeness, this is the essence of Riesling. — 2 years ago
