Honey, cantaloupe, flowers and juicy apricots flow effortlessly from the 2009 Friulano. This is a decidedly opulent, flashy Friulano. I am not sure it will age more than a few years, but it will offer fabulous drinking over the near-term. There is enough inner perfume, along with a touch of sweetness, to make me think it might pair nicely with dishes that pack some heat. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2013.
