Brauneberger wines seemed to have been a bit more popular than now in
the late 1880s when many, especially in the UK, considered them to be
some of the best Mosels. This bottle of Brauneberger Juffer Auslese
1975, Weingut Wwe. Dr. H. Thanish, A.P. Nr. 2 576 242 277 (10% alcohol
on importer's tag) had been properly stored since release and had a
very hig neck fill.

The 1975s were better in the Mosel than in some other regions, and are
rather classic. They tend to be more lile the 1971s than the
ultra-rich, tropical 1976s.

The wine is a light yellow. It has only a bit of aged Riesling petrol
character. The wine is quite fresh and likely can hold well many more
years. The sweetness is moderate and well balanced by clean acidity.
There is very good fruit of a light-fleshed fruit nature, and a rather
intense bouquet. There also is some floral character. There only is a
moderate amount of honey character. The grapes appear to have been very
ripe, but not extremely overripe as for some 1976s. This wine would not
be as difficult to match with food as some of the tropical,
honey-drenched 1976 auslesen which often can pass as a BA by taste.
