Bottle of port for a special occasion?

For around $60, these are my picks:

Andresen 20 Year Tawny
Ferreira 20 Year Tawny
1980 Sandeman
1980 Dow
1980 Taylor

I would avoid most 1994 and newer Vintage Ports (can taste "shut down") and many of them are above $60. Honestly, if you can get Andresen 20 year tawny, you're gonna love.

J. H. Andresen has been awarded “Port Company of the Year” (2010) by Revista de Vinhos; the most influent wine magazine in Portugal.

20 year Ferreira like a dream too.

If you find a specific bottle not mentioned, I can give you an opinion on it.

It's almost like it was scripted or something.
