Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

The Crapula Gold 2019, from the Jumilla region of Spain, offers aromas of black raspberry, black olive, oregano, game, mocha and cedar. Blended from 50% Monastrell and 50% Syrah, the wine shows afull body, light tannins and fresh acidity. The finish is long and structured, delivering flavors of black currant, blueberry, lavender, cocoa, sweet tobacco and spice. Enjoy!




Natalie's Review

Crápula Cr Gold 5 Monastrell Syrah 2019, Jumilla D.O.P., Spain: From the Jumilla wine region, Cr Gold 5 2019 is a rustic red wine blend of Monastrell from 50+ year old vines, and Syrah from younger vines of 30 years old. Grapes were hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel tanks and then aged five months in a combination of neutral French and American oak barrels. The wine is dry, medium-plus-bodied and intense with ripe blackberry, spiced plum and smoky vanilla mouth-coating flavours. Pour with a grilled bavette steak or game sausages. This vintage was awarded Gold at the 2020 Berliner Wein Trophy Drink: 2021-2025. 482505 14% XD 750 mL  $18.95 Score: 87/100. November 26, 2021 Best Value Red Wine. Luscious Lamb Wine  Full Review

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
