"The 1975 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese from J. J. Prüm is one of the most brilliant wines I have ever had the pleasure to taste from this great estate. The deep and utterly ethereal nose soars from the glass in a blaze of peach, orange, a touch of custard, beautiful, salty soil tones, a gentle dollop of honey, orange zest and an exotic, mossy topnote that reminds me a bit of the Herrenberg vineyard from Maximin Grünhäuser. On the palate the wine is deep, fullish, pure and very, very complex, with the lightness of step of a ballerina, beautiful focus and grip, bright acids and stunning length and grip on the absolutely à point finish. This is the epitome of elegance and transparent purity."
