Default TN Graacher Himmelreich Auslese 1975, J. J. Prum

The TN Graacher Himmelreich Auslese 1975, J. J. Prum , A.P Nr.
2576511-2376, was stored under proper conditions since buying it
shortly after release. There were no cork or other issues and the fill
was high. The color is still fairly light yellow. There is still
plenty of fruit but it is not highly tropical as are many of the1976
Mosels. It is a quite sweet and rich wine balanced by enough acidity.
There is a bit of petrol, old-Riesling character that adds interesting
complexity. J. J. Prum makes several wines in addition to the very
famous Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Many of these are very good, as was this
wine, and often are a better value because of the reputation of the
star of the J.J. Prum holdings.
