Taylor's 2020 Late Bottled Vintage Port / Gift Box: Aged to Perfection

Helena Kosta — Nice gift box, decent port

7/10

Picked this up as a last-minute present and the gift box makes it look properly fancy. Finally tried one myself and it's a good all-rounder — spicy, fruity, that classic Christmas pudding thing. £19 feels about right, maybe slightly steep for an LBV but the packaging helps justify it.

Marcus Blackwell — A bit much for me

Had this after Christmas dinner and it was almost TOO rich on top of everything else. The coffee and dark chocolate flavours are intense. My partner loved it though. Might work better on a random Tuesday with some stilton rather than after a massive roast.

Bought this as a gift for my dad's birthday and he insisted we open it straight away. Glad he did — it's like drinking Christmas cake with a coffee chaser. Really rich but doesn't feel sickly, and at under twenty quid in the gift box it looked way more expensive than it was.
