Bruno Besa | Brilliant golden to straw. Super-elegant nose, with mature yet pristine yellow fruit, camomile, yellow and green apples, lemon peel, fresh herbs, and hints of crushed stones. Rich, firm, and layered palate, with intense citrus fruit and a very long, crystal-clear finish. | 94

Andrew Jefford | Mid-straw gold. Soft, rather oniony aromas; lacks the singular intrigue of the best of its peers. That oniony note blows off after a while, though, and then there are some harmonious soft autumn fruits in evidence. Perhaps decant this wine; anyway, give it plenty of air. Intense and concentrated on the palate, with sweeter, more accessible and more seamless fruit than many of its peers. Ample chewy wealth here. | 89

Michael Palij | An exceptional nose, with perfectly delineated stone fruit—peach, apricot, and nectarine—allied to almond, toast, smoke, wet wool, and apple skin. On the palate, this shows complex fruit and dairy notes, allied to some MLF and lees contact. This fat, opulent style of Timorasso is designed to win more converts to Piemonte’s best-kept secret. | 87
