Prior bottle was a bit over 13 months ago and my notes were markedly different which could be due to cooler serving temperatures, positive bottle variation, or a slight cork issue with the prior bottle. I did feel that my prior bottle felt a bit more advanced than I expected while my bottle tonight was neatly on the expected spectrum.
Nose showed pear, melon and apple qualities with only a slight hint of peach, but plenty of citrus. Medium bodied with white apple and pear upfront. Mid-body showed apple and melon, with peach notes as background highlights as the wine warmed. No gold fruit notes and no overt sweetness at all. Lemon, lime and grapefruit on the backside along with very good acidity. Perhaps even higher acidity than the 2012. Feels like this wine has many years to go given the white, nearly green fruit profile, lots of citrus and excellent acidity. Quite pleased that my final bottle of this vintage as able to show so well.

S-F spätlese is becoming my go-to pairing when I need to match up with good spicy Thai or Sichuan dishes. This was delicious. Although shy on the nose, palate revealed dense flavors of pineapple, ripe apple, banana, grapefruit and Chrysanthemum. Definitely held its own tonight along with some seriously spice fare.
