Worth every penny for a special night
Bought this for my parents' 40th wedding anniversary and it absolutely delivered. The warmth hits you but it's smooth, not boozy at all despite being 20%. We kept passing the bottle around because everyone wanted another taste — the flavour just lingers forever. Not an everyday buy at £700 but for a once-in-a-lifetime occasion it was perfect.

Best port I've ever had, full stop
A mate brought this to a dinner party and honestly I didn't expect much because I'm more of a red wine person. But this completely changed how I think about port. Layer after layer of flavour, and the finish goes on for what feels like minutes. I actually put my glass down after the first sip just to appreciate it. Absolutely stunning.

Incredible but hard to justify the price
Tried this at a wine bar and it's genuinely beautiful — complex, balanced, the kind of thing where every sip gives you something different. But £700 a bottle is a LOT of money. I've had ports at a quarter of the price that got me 80% of the way there. If someone else is buying, absolutely say yes. If it's your own wallet, maybe think twice.

1987 and still going strong
The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something special for my 60th. Really glad I listened. It's got this lovely acidity that keeps it fresh even though it's nearly 40 years old, and the alcohol is so well integrated you'd never guess it's 20%. Shared it with three friends over cheese and we all just sat there quietly sipping. That's when you know it's good.
