A decidedly lighter-styled wine than the 2003, this elegant, medium-bodied effort from La Mondotte boasts a deep ruby/purple-tinged color and some sweet mulberry and black cherry fruit intermixed with a hint of white chocolate and espresso. Stylish but ultimately lacking great depth and persistence, this wine should be drunk over the next 10-15 years.
