So... I like Madeira. Opened a 1962 Barbeito Malmsey on Saturday. Mmmm...
But I have yet to have a Port that has totally "wowed" me. What would be my best bet? A 20 year tawny? Any particular ones?

The Sandeman 20-yr old has great acidity for a Port, so might be closer to what you're used to in Madeiras. I'd recommend that one for you.

That's a good one. On the more expensive side, Delaforce 1952 Colheita should hit the right notes for you if you like Madeira.

Old Tawnies and Colheitas. I'm a huge Madeira fan, and while I like many 20 yo's; I really perfer the 30 and 40's.
