Lastly, the 2013 Languedoc Pic Saint Loup Clos du Pic (Mourvèdre and Syrah) might just be the wine of the vintage. Sporting an inky purple/blue color as well as sensational notes of black raspberries, cassis, caramelized meats, graphite and licorice, it’s one of the few 2013s to have true depth and richness. This full-bodied, layered and blockbuster effort is without a doubt one of the wines to seek out. It should knock your socks off anytime over the coming decade. - Jeb Dunnuck
