This wine is from a sub region in Rheingau called Hallgarten. — 10 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

Floral, medium bodied, super food friendly in a shapely bottle. — 8 years ago
A bit more closed then the B but how strange is it? The wines are now for four weeks in the bottle — 8 years ago
German silvaner with intense aromatic taste, fits very well also as a starter — 8 years ago
Pinot Noir. A beautiful discovery here. Individual, mineral and straight in style. Riesling varietal character doesn't come through obviously. Aromatically evoking more Muscat Blanc a petits grains with notes of rose, preserved orange, musk and spices. The floral tone is the link leading towards Riesling. Mid palate onwards the slatey, mineral and floral/wooded notes take over revealing the greatness of Riesling. — 9 years ago

Peach 🍑 candy. Apricot marmalade. Tropical and mineral notes. Well integrated acids. A rich and velvety palate and once again a long, mouthwatering finish. World class. — 6 years ago
