Taylor's Coronation Very Very Old Tawny Port

Simon Hughes — Dangerously smooth for 20%

9/10

Tried this at a port tasting event and honestly couldn't believe it was 20% ABV. There's zero burn, just this warm glow that sits perfectly with the fruit and acidity. The finish lasted longer than any port I've ever had. If I ever win the lottery this is going straight into the regular rotation.

Ingrid Holm — Incredible but hard to justify the price

8/10

My wife surprised me with this for our anniversary. It's genuinely beautiful — layers and layers of flavour, and the nose alone is worth sitting with for a while. But I'll be honest, at over four hundred quid I kept thinking about how many really good £30 ports that buys. Still, a special experience for a special occasion.

Jorge Castillo — The real deal

9/10

The guy at the wine shop talked me into splashing out on this instead of a Late Bottled Vintage and I'm glad he did. You can taste the age in it — everything is just so balanced and smooth. Poured some for friends after dinner and nobody said a word for about ten seconds, which says it all really.
