Saar-typical apple and cherry are delivered in both fresh and distilled form on the penetrating nose, with yeast, apple pip, iodine and wet stone accents adding counterpoint and intrigue. The satiny underlying texture is allied to finely integrated mousse, and the long, refreshing finish adds alkaline and mouthwateringly saline notes to the already complex litany of nuances noted in the nose.

  The 2018 Ayler Kupp Unterstenberg Fass 12 offers a dark, flinty and still yeasty/earthy bouquet with ripe, darker-toned fruit and fresh peanut aromas. The nose is quite complex and very promising. Creamy, round and charming on the palate, this is a full-bodied and rich yet also piquant and crystalline Riesling with good mineral grip and fruity bitters on the finish. This is a very intense and powerful but fine and refreshing mineral Unterstenberg with a very promising finish.
