Aldi, Animus, Douro Valley, Portugal, 2017

90
Tasted by: Tina Gellie
(at the Aldi Autumn/Winter press tasting, 04 Sep 2018)
Drinking Window: 2018 - 2021
Made by Vicente Faria, this is always a reliable, great-value red in Aldi's core range, and a real customer favourite. Spiced, jammy, dark plum and bright blue fruits feature on a round, full-bodied palate, kept fresh by bright acidity and remarkably moderate alcohol. A lovely drop with steak, burgers or chops.
