10 year old Tawny - Niepoort

20 year old Tawny - Ramos Pinto Quinta do Bom Retiro

30 year old Tawny - insufficient data, but probably San Leonardo

40 year old Tawny - Kopke

Interestingly, I didn't pick Noval for any of them, but they were under consideration for all (that they produce... I don't recall seeing a 30y from them).

Probably some mundane picks, here, but my list is:

10 Year: Quinta do Portal
20 Year: Taylor
30 Year: Feist (only had this and Casa de Santa Eufemia, so not many options)
40 Year: Quint do Noval
