2022 Peter Lauer Ayler Kupp Fass 10 Riesling Auslese 375ml, Mosel, Germany
$44.00
It's the exquisite lightness of vintage 2022 that makes this angelic. Only ten cases for the U.S. so go crazy. - vB
From Mosel Fine Wines, Issue No. 66: "The 2022er Kupp Auslese No. 10, as it is referred to in the central part of the label, was made from partially (15%) botrytized fruit harvested on the whole original Kupp hill and was fermented down to fully sweet levels of residual sugar (95 g/l). This offers a still very primary yet superbly complex and layered nose of bakery elements, almond cream, candied pineapple, coconut cream, aniseed, smoky bacon, and yellow flowers. The wine is superbly smooth and sweet on the comparatively light-weighted and delicate palate. The finish proves juicy and smooth, yet the after-taste brings freshness and liveliness as plenty of candied citrusy fruits kick in. This needs at least a decade to fully integrate its sweetness and fully shine."
