  March 31, 2022 - From memory, drank in 2022, so some months back now. Nicely mellowed by age, but still very much in its drinking window. Plenty of dark fruit with a beguiling purity, violets, and. a little bit of that blood soaked iron dagger. A happy find !

  January 11, 2020 - A little past prime. Drink if you have it. Very soft and elegant.

  December 13, 2014 - The Gallet was a bottle I hand carried back from the 2002 Marche aux Vins and was good but not great, which is a fair representation of the vintage. Initially it showed some lactic character on the nose which blew off quickly. A little lean with a taut acidic backbone, fairly pure red fruit, which is characteristic of Lancement in my experience, and though it filled in with air and time, it would never be considered to be opulent. A warning to those who are less tolerant of brett that I am, it showed a fair bit of brett early that toned down as air brought out more fruit.

  November 23, 2013 - Medium red color. Tight, herbaceous nose at first, with three hours adding meat, peppercorn, violets. Next day (ungassed, refrigerated) the aromas burst with campfire, violets, roast pork. On arrival, medium-low tannin, medium acidity. Flavors tight initially; needs much air to relax, but give a day or two - wow. Finishes long, game-y and floral. Bottle #6 of twelve.
