June 5, 2020 - {screwcap, 8.0%, AP 40 06} Mid gold. Aging apple nose, custard, apricot jam. Palate initially has lots of lively spritz, although not harshly acidic at all. Evident RS, light/medium weight, seductive if a bit simple. More the patina of age rather than true development. Don’t think Loosen really improves with age. Probably not worth holding longer, but very pleasant anyway.

February 19, 2018 - Much improved from a few years ago. Still fresh with complexity on the finish balanced with good acidity. Wish I had a couple more.

August 1, 2017 - {screwcap, 8% AP 40 06} Mid-yellow. Lovely nose of stewed apples, custard, a touch of cinnamon. Some development apparent. The palate still has lively acid, with a spritzy touch; the fruit is quite voluptuous. It lacks a certain raciness, but it's still softly enchanting, even if the finish isn't all that long. Seems off-dry, but the finish is balanced enough that sugar doesn't stick out. Light/medium body, hugely drinkable and very moreish. Very tidy indeed. Not sure about further complexity; at least the screwcap gives it a chance!
