This a a very good to great port. The 20 years has more depth to it and is less sweet.

I find the 10 year great for weekly and 20 for at least once a month or when I have people over as an after dinner and dessert wine.

If anyone can tell me if the 40 year is worth 3 times the 20, I'd appreciate it as I want an honest answer rather than taking the word of the liquor store salesman

I have had Many of the Taylor Fladgate Ports.
The 20 is really nice. The 40 is smoother & a bit stronger with a more lasting finish.
As a present to yourself it is nice.

If your going to have it with guests after dinner Stay with the cheaper 20 year old.

On an other surprising note for every day. Taylor Makes a "Fine Tawney Port" which is young but full of underlying flavor . It sells for about $10. And is a nice drink with a Cigar as you read a book or watch TV,
Churchill Makes a nice white port Good for a Long Cold Drink for about $25.
Enjoy your port.
