"The 2019er Marienburg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese, as it is referred to on the main part of the consumer label, was made from a selection of fully botrytized fruit picked at 220° Oechsle and was fermented down to noble-sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers an absolutely stunning nose made of dried fruits, almond cream, raisin, baked pineapple, coconut, and earthy spices. The wine is massively oily and sweet on the palate at this stage (as one would expect from a top-end TBA) but the underlying precision and finesse are already more than shining through. The finish is sweet but also stunningly complex as licorice, dried fruits, honey, apricot, pear puree, and many other complex flavors woe for one’s attention. The balance, the intensity, the profoundness, the precision, and the drama: Everything is here for wine perfection at maturity. The wine is THAT impressive. But it will put the wine lover’s patience to the test. Do not expect this beauty to be truly ready for another two decades, at least. But trust us, this is perfection in the making! 2039-2069. 100."
