Had the '89 Armand CdE a couple weeks ago, not bad, but after several different vintages I don't see why Armand commands a premium.

That's what I felt, but have you had this 98 UW Auslese? It was well worth drinking even if it tilted towards the polished side.
I guess it is no great victory that they can occasionally make very good wines, and I am still not motivated to start buying them. But, at least there is now some slightly more positive associations with them in my mind..
So Hoke, do you find them consistently interesting?

As to Loosen, I've never been really blown away, but have only had random bottles of the "real" stuff..
