Armagnac 2005: Born in the year of the Istanbul Miracle, YouTube, and Batman Begins
2005 - four events that changed culture and sport. On May 25th, in the Champions League final in Istanbul, Liverpool trailed AC Milan 3-0 at halftime. What followed was the greatest comeback in football history: three goals in six minutes in the second half, then a penalty shootout won by goalkeeper Dudek - the Istanbul Miracle entered the legend of world football. In February, three San Jose students launched YouTube - a total revolution in online video distribution that would transform global culture, politics, and economics. Christopher Nolan resurrected Batman with Batman Begins: Bruce Wayne regained his gravity and depth, the beginning of the Dark Knight trilogy that redefined the superhero film genre. On the airwaves, Kanye West feat. Ray Charles' Gold Digger dominated the global charts - an inescapable hit of summer 2005. In Gascony, the vineyard produced a fresh and expressive vintage. After 21 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, Armagnacs 2005 offer a young and fruity aromatic profile: flowers, fresh fruit, light vanilla. A vintage still evolving - perfect for cellaring.
