Nine Leaves Almost Spring Cabernet Sauvignon Cask
Most enjoy its unique sake/grappa character and dry grape notes. Critics find it light, short and lacking punch. Consensus: an interesting, quirky rum-wine hybrid, good but not unforgettable.
Curious explorers who like grappa, cognac or sake nuances in their spirits and want to try a dry, wine-cask Japanese rum that’s more about uniqueness than intensity.

Sehr eigen, aber etwas Besonderes
interesanter Rum hat was von Grappa und kann auch gut nach dem Essen getrunken werden
Actually good approaches. But too little of everything. And I find these Sauvignon finishes generally weak.
in the second attempt it works better and from the initially too pure seeming rum still a lot comes out. definitely needs some time, then certainly a pleasure.
