I think the yearly naming convention has a rustic charm about it, kind of like french wines. We can all sit down one day and have a big discussion which year was the best vintage. Reminisce about the more intense full-bodied flavour of the second batch of 2009, which is lovely in small sips, but can go a bit awry when large gulps are involved... or the effect on the palate of annually increasing Scala overtones; it shall be grand!

On a more serious note, +1 for calling it Isabelle 2011.

release is.

Or dispense with year numbers entirely.

Even Microsoft gave up on that idea for Windows.
