Friday, May 17, 2019 - Prior bottle was just over a year ago and this wine continues to show extremely well. White peach, floral, orange and other tropical notes on the nose that showed more and more complexity as the wine warmed. Medium bodied with apple and pear at first, couple with a good amount of peach that showed both brightness (acidity) and depth/roundness. Mid-body has continued to open up with peach, pineapple, orange and other varied tropical notes that are becoming more distinct. The acidity on the backside along with tart orange, lemon and minerals frame the richer mid-body perfectly and allows the fruit to be expressed beautifully without overt sweetness. This fruit/acidity balance is currently in a very good spot and I've generally been impressed with 2012 spatleses overall. Should continue to improve in the coming years and I'll try my next bottle in Q2 2020.
