Well, the meaning of spätlese is pretty much late harvest. For the record:

spätlese = late harvest
auslese = selected late harvest
beerenauslese = selected grape late harvest
trockenbeerenauslese = selected dried (i.e., botrytised) grape LH

IIRC, Ch. St. Jean in the '70s produced a dessert wine that was labeled
with something close to the literal translation of TBA.
