There is a very hard to find 40 year old white as well.

WineSearcher does not show any Andresen 20/30/40 year white ports. I think that I'll stick with madeira.

Quinta do Javali 10 Year Old Tawny. When opened it has a quite strong "alcoholic" taste, after a couple of days (or decant) and then it is really good.

Edit: I opened at the same time a Quinta do Javali Fine Tawny, this one is in my humble opinion a really excellent Tawny (could beat some quite more expensive Ports).
