Mad cranberries, smooth, perfect balance of earth. Still drinking nicely

People fall over themselves to buy Claude Dugat's Chapelle for $500/b. This is the same wine. Can anyone say métayage? It's about $100. Gorgeous wine, by the way.

Red and blue-fruited, it has more density than expected for Chapelle, a little secondary and a little tertiary development, ripe tannins, hints of sous bois, there is good acidity and balance and a creamy mouthfeel--wife says "yummy." Super wine.
