95 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2023 Riesling Ayler Kupp Spätlese No. 7 offers a restrained nose with a hint of passionfruit and beautifully ripe peach accented by tangerine. The palate is fine and graceful, showcasing its slate nature with filigree and brightness. It finishes with serene peach, taut acidity and a lovely sense of orange peel. Drink: 2026-2060. (Dec 2024)"
93 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 71 24. The 2023 Kupp Spätlese N°7, as it is referred to in the central part of the label, with AP 71 was made from fruit harvested at 90° Oechsle from vineyards on the original Kupp hill and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar (67 g/l). This hay-yellow-colored wine offers a rather subtle and very complex nose made of earthy spices, pear, apricot blossom, a hint of date, cream, and smoke. It proves very subtle and elegant on the palate, where a touch of zest brings the right kick to the complex creamy and fruity flavors. The finish is subtly racy, delicately creamy, and, above all, hugely satisfying. This is a great under-toned but complex expression of Spätlese in the making. 2033-2048. (Sep 2024)" Producer notes: "Faß 7 is every year our elegant Spätlese. If the Kabinett reflects the character of ripe grapes, we select overripe, golden-yellow fruit, just before they start to dry up, for the Spätlese. This gives the wine exotic notes. Passion fruit and oranges on the nose are characteristic of this Saar classic. We recommend letting it mature for a few years to enjoy it with savory or fruit dishes. If you don’t want to wait, you should top off your sorbet or fruit dessert with this late-harvest wine or enjoy it on its own."
