In this tasting of Vega Sicilia's 2017 and 2018 releases, James speaks with Gonzalo Iturriaga, the head winemaker at Macàn and Vega Sicilia, and Pablo Alvarez, the owner and CEO of Vega Sicilia.
Gonzalo explains that 2017 was one of the more challenging vintages recently, due to the incredibly hot weather that they experienced in Toro, Spain, but that the 2018 vintage is "more elegantly balanced," which is why he favors the latter vintage.
