See previous Delectable Note for the 2009 vintage from 88 weeks ago. Similar tasting note with a nose of Compost Heap, Sous Bois and dirty red and black cherry. Still a strong core of energy - could go on for another 5 years. Arguably Australia’s greatest Pinot Noir - definitely of Grand Cru quality. A lovely textured medium bodied palate. Only 40 dozen made. Philip Jones said at the time that 2009 was one of his best vintages, although to be honest he has made a few just as good, if not better, since. — 2 years ago

My first of 7 bottles from the 2015 vintage and the ultra close planted Issan vineyard of 5 Hectares planted 9000 vines per Hectare. Rich red fruits with bunchy earthy notes. Not quite as impressive as the 2013 vintage (see previous Delectable notes) which Philip Jones called a freak wine. Medium to full bodied. Lots of fine tannins. Have the remaining bottles every year for the next 6 years. I ended up having the last bottle 175 weeks later on 31st May 2025. This wine was best in its youth and did not develop as hoped. This Issan Cuvée not produced any more under the new French ownership. — 3 years ago

I was excited that the wine group in Rome liked this as much as I did. On the other hand, it's probably not a good sign for CT wine that my favorite from this vineyard isn't from grapes. — 10 years ago
