  Definitive Rhone (Fabi and Rosi European Kitchen Austin, Texas): I thought this was a bandol, but did not see the bottle and could find no references to a Gautiere bandol- it was purchased new by our largest collector. The wine was consistently the third or fourth wine of our tasters in this flight of five wines. It was the lightest wine in this flight, with some finesse and good structure--a quaffing wine. It was past its prime, and had some candied red fruit, currant, dried fruit, and mild saltiness on the palate. One taster described its metallic finish as "like a plow in soil." The descriptors of flat mid-palate and lightness of appearance and tannins leads me to believe this was indeed a red provencal blend. Oops! Quaff it.
