OK, so I'm not a big fan of Loosen or of 2003, but this was excellent. Who knew? Well, evidently Justin C knew. From mag. Super fruit on the nose - strawberry and lime, spice and more spice. Sweet on the palate with honey, strawberry and more lime. Good acid. Sweet on the finish with honey and spice. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 4/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 15.5/20.

An amazing wine for me, as I don't have much experience with Auslese. Concentrated, but not heavy. Note of key lime and honey on the palate stands out for me. Acidity balances well with the sweetness. Could use some add'l bottle age to smooth out further. Update - smoother and better the 3rd day open. Acidity has folded in to the wine; much more integrated in terms of mouth-feel and overall balance. A fine apertif at this stage.

Medium gold. Just perfect. Mildly sweet with fresh acidity. Medium bodied. Not viscous, not cloying.
