“The bubbles of the 2018 Colet Navazos Extra Brut were still a bit wild, still a bit young perhaps with a nice bitter twist in the finish. It’s an extra brut produced with Xarello grapes matured in bottle on its lees for two years and then topped up with Palo Cortado from Sanlúcar de Barrameda. 92pts.”

“Disgorged October 2021. 100% Colet’s 40- to 50-year-old Xarello vines with just a hint of oxidative Palo Cortado and Amontillado from Sanlucar as a liqueur d’éxpedition! 2007 was the first vintage. Fewer than 3,000 bottles. Pale copper colour. Lots of evolution and toastiness. Fun to drink and quite rich with a particularly clean finish. Sui generis – not remotely like champagne! 17pts.”
