EXAU showcases a delightful aroma profile, opening with notes of green olives, almond, and fresh-cut grass. Aromatic herbs and hints of tomato leaf add complexity. On the palate, it offers a well-balanced bitterness with a satisfying chicory and bitter almond sensation. The finish lingers with a persistent note of bitter almond.
