Really solid port for the money
Picked this up after the guy at the wine shop recommended it. Loads of dried fruit on the nose and a nice nutty thing going on. It's not cheap at £46 but for a 2005 colheita it's actually pretty fair.

Dad loved it for his birthday
Bought this for my dad's 60th because he's really into port. He said the dried fruit and spice were spot on and that the finish goes on forever. He's not easy to impress so I'll take that as a win. Would recommend as a gift.

Proper treat after a long week
I don't know loads about port but I know what I like, and this is lovely. Really warming and smooth, no burn at all even though it's 20%. The nutty flavour is my favourite part. Nice one to pour yourself on a Friday night.

Bit pricey but decent
Saw this on a restaurant menu and looked it up afterwards to buy a bottle. It's good — the acidity keeps it from being too sweet and there's a nice spiced warmth to it. Just wish it was closer to £35, that would make it a no-brainer.

Good but not blow-your-mind good
It's a nice port, don't get me wrong. Warm spice, dried fruit, smooth finish. But at nearly £50 I was hoping for something a bit more special. I've had tawnies at half the price that got close to this.

Christmas cracker
Got this as a Christmas present from my father-in-law and honestly it's one of the best ports I've had. The dried fruit and spice flavours are gorgeous, and it's dangerously smooth for 20%. Went back and bought another bottle for myself.

Stole the show at our dinner party
Brought this out after dinner with some stilton and it absolutely stole the show. Everyone kept going back for more. The warmth at the end is so gentle and it just keeps giving you more flavours as it opens up. Will definitely be buying again.
