DOŅA IRENE 1995
Reserva

Visancar S.A.
Valle del Maipo
Chile
48,50 FIM ~$US 8,95

In Chile and on Crete...
Irene is warm and strong!

Mother Earth - 'Irene'
Dancing Irene

A rather dark, beautifully red, and clear Doņa. A strong matron, with a joyous and unyielding character. Mother Nature's dear fruit.

A definite, strong scent of the grape. Healthy acids and lots of genuine cabernet sauvignon in the taste. An honest wine that can't be evaluated on the currency market. More than worth your visit to a knowing retailer.

A dark dive
into Irene's house
to Crete's northern shores
far from people

A hut of stone
a roof of stone
a floor of stone on the veranda
On the veranda a table
on the table
in the warm wind
a flickering candle
glasses full of strong
wine
a bottle of strong
wine
and in the clouds
- above the hissing and splashing sea
suddenly horizontal
bursts of lightning
slashing the heaven open
again and again

The wind has silenced the candle
in the lightning darkness
we share a toast
to Doņa Irene

Dancing Irene

If your heart is warm with happiness, you'll need a glass - if sorrow chills your heart, have two! Anim.
