New to Grappa, only have an average quality bottle here. However I was not disappointed. Even though this is not my favorite one of grappa cocktails. I am willing to make an investment.

Nicely sour, but not overly. You must have a good grappa as it is the overall flavouring. Very well balanced. Great for an afternoon or before dinner.
