Apocalypse Rex

9.1

This wine has a very nice fruity body with a bit of a dry finish. Currants come to mind. This is a wine best paired with a mind ready to transcend beyond this temporal realm, through the veil, and into the Void of Distortion! This wine is the palatable equivalent of a saw wave oscillating through the plenum cabling and into your grey matter. One day we will all be consumed by the cubular harbingers. But until that day consider Lodi’s plunger-head wine. On a Tuesday evening it is quite nice. — 7 years ago

More fruit forward the other mid 90s bottles I have had of this wine - lacked the classic pepper of Syrah and had a strong bacon fat nose that took me further north...would’ve been interesting to enjoy the bottle over a longer period of time — 8 years ago

Damn good but still way young...layered with roasted earth, black currant and blackberry compote and a good bit of smoke. Warm year so maybe a bit more clunky than other vintages but Dominus is really fabulous!! One of the few Napa wines I really like with serious age....half hour in decanter and candied cherries and red fruits coming out...enjoying this one! — 9 years ago

For centuries now, the luscious, bright, all-encompassing delight of Champagne has been used to toast happy occasions. Often times a decent bubbly does the trick, but other times, something grander deserves to be poured.

Dom Pérignon (named after the monk who put Champagne on the map), a 2000 vintage. It's the kind of Champs one drinks upon making the decision that wine is not just a hobby, not just a passion, but a career. — 10 years ago

Good but not as good as the other comments maybe it wasn't stored as well. Seemed past its prime no fruit left . I have a few more and a few magnums try so hopefully they are better — 10 years ago

For 12 bucks, this is an awesome value wine. Solid and fruity, but also versatile enough to drink with just about anything you can dish up (or even by itself). — 11 years ago

Stunning wine with crazy flavors yet totally different from almost any other syrah I have had. Lean and austere yet very full flavored. A unique wine. The opposite end of the spectrum from a Saxum or Alban or Barossa Valley Syrah. — 8 years ago

Not the best vintage, but a great house. A bit lighter body than some other Lynch-Bages vintages, but still beautifully layered and complex. — 8 years ago

Just a special experience. The nose was powerful and dynamic evolving beautifully over 30 minutes. A smokey phase, a pine phase, and a strong floral phase. The palate was balanced and smooth. The fruit was dead but resembled fruit leather. Two bottles opened, one had grip left, the other didn't. #moutonrothschild #grandcruclassé #2ndgrowth #bordeaux #pauillac #1928 #ctbucklinwine — 9 years ago

round but with balanced acidity, like eating fresh cherries while biting your lip and drawing blood. tasted young despite being an older vintage than the other rioja we tasted. I kind of expected more from a GR. might need decanting. I recall preferring the '01 or '07. — 11 years ago

Super Tuscan at its finest. Cab elements were in the forefront and the other varietals were a strong supporting cast. Lots of $$$ but worth it at least once or twice. Especially vs Antinori... — 11 years ago

At first i picked up a lot of acetyl in this relative to the other wines. After an hour that had blown off and this blossomed. Everything you hope for in Monte Bello. — 8 years ago

A more delicate cab. Lighter body and tannins than the usual warm climate cabs. Delicious earth-ash tones mixed with some smokiness. Cherry and other red fruit. Love SL. — 9 years ago

A much different profile then the 2009 consumed the other day. A beautiful cherry and strawberry nose. In the mouth this bottle is about finesse versus 2009's power. — 10 years ago
