- Special occasion bottle and it delivered
Bought this for my dad's 60th and we cracked it open after dinner. Absolutely stunning — really rich and layered but not heavy or boozy despite being 20%. Everyone kept going back for another small glass. Yes it's £899 but for a once-in-a-lifetime bottle it was worth every penny.

- Best port I've ever had full stop
Tried this at a tasting event and immediately understood why Fonseca has the reputation it does. Everything is just clean and balanced — no rough edges, no alcohol burn, nothing out of place. The way the flavours build and keep changing in the glass is incredible. Saved up and bought one for myself.

- Gorgeous but hard to justify the price
A friend brought this to a dinner party and it was genuinely lovely. Really well put together, great clarity on the nose and a finish that just keeps going. My only gripe is the price tag — nearly £900 is a LOT of port. I'd happily drink it again but I don't think I could bring myself to buy a bottle when there are solid vintage ports at a fraction of the cost.

- Impressive but you need patience
Got this as a gift and honestly it took me a couple of sessions to really get it. First pour I thought it was nice but not mindblowing. Second time I let it breathe properly and the fruit just kept opening up — loads of depth without being jammy or sweet. The finish goes on forever. Properly good port, just give it time.
