L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

The orange-label wine is the 2014 Colet Navazos Extra Brut, the one produced with Xarello grapes that have been aged 30 months in bottle in contact with the lees and with an oxidative Sherry touch at disgorging. My experience is that this wine improves in bottle, and what I tasted, disgorged in July 2017, was still shy and ungiving in the nose with notes of yeast and apples, something balsamic and floral. The palate showed better, with pungent flavors and a dry, tasty finish. - Luis Gutiérrez. 

Decanter:

A 100% Xarel-lo base wine sourced from Colet's vineyards in Penedès. After secondary fermentation in bottle, a blend of Amontillado and Palo Cortado is added as the liqueur d'expedition. This is bone dry and offers subtle yeasty notes on the nose of pastry and biscuit. Aged for 30 months, there's a nice complexity here, whilst that classic hint of rubber and earth from the Xarel-lo emerges. The palate is zesty and refreshing with a subtle tingle of oxidation coming through from the oxidatively aged Sherries.- Natalie Earl.
