He noted its bold and firmly structured profile, with "plenty of crushed rock minerality at the long, weighty finish."

Vinous gave the 2021 Marienburg Fahrlay an impressive score of 96 points. Anne Krebiehl MW praised it for its aromatic complexity, stating that it "deliciously intertwines smoke with green Seville orange peel on the nose." The palate is described as "incisive, bright and tingles with citrus intensity both in terms of acidity and aroma." Krebiehl highlighted its profound and lasting impact, noting the wine's ability to fill the mind with a "beautifully pure citrus aroma." With 6.2g/L of sweetness and 8.3 g/L of acidity, this Riesling is well-balanced and dry (Vinous, 6/1/2023).

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate rated the wine between 93-95 points. The review describes it as "enormously pure and flinty on the intense and almost iodine nose that reveals stony and phenolic aromas with mocha notes." The palate is lush and elegant, with ripe, piquant acidity and mineral tension. The wine is noted for being possibly the driest Grosses Gewachs of the vintage at Weingut Clemens Busch, with less than seven grams per liter of residual sugar (Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 8/25/2022).

Overall, the 2021 Clemens Busch Marienburg Fahrlay Riesling Grosses Gewachs is a highly regarded wine, praised for its depth, complexity, and balance. It is recommended for those who appreciate a well-structured, mineral-driven Riesling with a long-lasting finish.
