A bit of a let down, this is big, rich and oily, redolent of honeyed apples, but lacks the precision and clarity of some of Loosen's other 2001s. It's still very good, close to a beerenauslese in ripeness and weight, just somewhat monolithic and weighty, picking up some lemon and apricot notes on the finish. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.
