Bruno Besa | Straw color with golden highlights. A ripe yet refined nose, with cooked apples, toasted nuts, fresh sage, and some minerality. A touch overripe on the palate, yet clean, with a moderately long finish. | 87

Andrew Jefford | Clear, bright gold. Sweet, warm, almost enticing scents, with the grapey charm that Orvieto promises. On the palate, this is a little more forcefully stated than some of its peers, lacking some lift and poise. | 86

Michael Palij | Medium intensity nose of very ripe fruit including dried apricot, tinned peaches, and honey. This has a spicy note on the palate, suggesting some oak, and it shows phenolic complexity on the palate. | 83
