Kopke 40 Year Old Tawny Port

Mei-Lin Wu - Lovely but bit pricey for what it is

7/10

Don't get me wrong this is a very good port. Nice dried fruit character, long finish, all that. But I've had 20 and 30 year tawnies that got me 80% of the way there for a lot less money. If someone else is buying then absolutely, but I probably wouldn't repurchase at this price point myself.

Ravi Krishnan - Christmas day showstopper

9/10

Brought this out after Christmas dinner instead of the usual cheap ruby port and everyone went quiet for a second. It's just so concentrated and rich without being heavy. My father-in-law who "doesn't like port" had three glasses. Says it all really.

Sophie Brennan - Shared with friends and they loved it

8/10

Picked this up at duty free and saved it for a dinner party. Poured it with some stilton and dark chocolate after the meal and it was a massive hit. Really clean finish that makes you want to keep going back. Only complaint is the bottle didn't last long enough between four of us.

Henrik Larsen - Really impressive but save it for something special

8/10

The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something memorable for our anniversary. It's properly complex — all dried fruits and spice on the nose, and it drinks beautifully. Only reason I'm not giving it higher is that £98 is a lot for port when there are solid options at half the price.

Daisy Miller - Worth every single penny

10/10

Got this as a 40th birthday present for my husband and we cracked it open after dinner. Absolutely incredible — layers of dried fruit and warm spice that just kept going and going. We sat there for an hour just sipping and talking. At nearly £100 it's not cheap but for a special occasion it's genuinely worth it.

Dmitri Volkov - I finally understand what the fuss is about

10/10

I'm relatively new to port and usually just grab whatever's on offer. Saw this on a restaurant menu and thought why not treat myself. Oh my god. The depth of flavour is unreal — fruits, spices, everything just perfectly balanced. I now understand why people spend proper money on this stuff.

Amira Benali - The smoothest port I've ever had

9/10

Tried this at a wine bar and immediately ordered a bottle online. For 20% ABV you'd expect some burn but there's literally none — it's so smooth and balanced. The finish lasts forever in the best way. This is my new benchmark for tawny port.
