Taylor's Golden Age Very Old Tawny Port / 50 Year Old: Complex and Rewarding

Petra Novak — Impressive but steep

6/10

Tried this at a tasting event and yeah it's good, really nutty with that caramel sweetness, but I'm not sure it's £259 good. I've had 20-year tawnies at half the price that got me nearly as excited. If someone else is buying though, absolutely say yes.

Daniel Torres — Maybe I don't get it

5/10

Birthday present from my brother-in-law. It's nice, the caramel and fig flavours are definitely there, but honestly after two glasses I was a bit over it. Very rich and I found the 20% hit harder than I expected. Sure it's well made but I think I'd rather have three bottles of something else for the same money.

Derek Chang — Convert me to port

8/10

I'm mostly a red wine person and never really got port until I tried this at a friend's house after dinner. The apricot sweetness and that almond nuttiness completely won me over. It's not heavy or syrupy like I expected — there's a sharpness underneath that keeps it interesting. Now I need to find £259 down the back of the sofa.
