Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese 1975, J. J. Prüm, A.P. Nr. 2 576 511 476. Usually several batches are made, and the best often are given a long gold capsule. This wine is the regular capsule.
Light lemon yellow. Considerable clean petrol character. Yellow peaches and some floral character. A bit of honey. Good balance of fruit, acid, and sweetness. This is a very good wine that probably should be drunk in the next few years. It does not have as much richness and complexity as the regular Auslese from 1976 or the long gold capsule 1971. There is really nothing to complain about. J. J. Prüm can make a well balanced wine in most good vintage years, but in Germany one can not expect every year to produce wines as outstanding as many of the 1971s and 1976s.
