2015 Darting Huxelrebe TBA Pfalz abv of 7.5% A P Nr 5 160 346 029 16 I have enjoyed many Kurt Darting wines in the past but this is my first TBA. I suppose a Huxelrebe will not age as long or as gracefully as a Riesling but this one will be consumed within the next 10 years for sure so that should not be a problem. No notes on cellartracker. Any opinions out there? Pretty reasonable too for 50$ in 1/2 bottle.

Darting is a really good producer of stickies at excellent prices. Granted they are typically from non-Riesling, but once you have the concentration and botrytis of a TBA it doesn’t much matter what the grape is. I have several bottles, and drank one back in March 2019. Unfortunately that was an night of extreme debauchery, so there’s no note. :)
