I'm enjoying the 20 year old with some local 8 year old cheddar right now... Heavenly!
Never tried it with comté, so I'll have to try that on the next go-around.
Cheers!

'Do not' buy Taylor's 20 year old Tawny Port in October 2023, sadly it is an appallingly overpriced, obnoxiously sickly mouthful, that will in my opinion, ruin the family name of all those tempted to buy it while on offer. Perhaps the reduction in price should have alerted me to the fact that something was obviously not right, but being at a major store, I thought I couldn't possibly be ripped off, how wrong I was. Had I purchased this bottle of supposedly two decade old plonk from a third world country village shop, for just a dollar, I still would have been unhappy. I'm certain Taylor's have either mixed up the batch, or they are simply selling off last year's garbage cheaply, prior to releasing the real 20 year old vintage this Christmas. Why the rant? We'll I'm bitterly disappointed. I've just arrived home after buying 6 bottles (as they were somewhat reduced) and I thought they'd make good Christmas gifts, but sadly however, I have no choice but to return all of them and will feed the one I've opened to a trifle or two, as that's about all it's fit for. The 20 year old I bought last Yule tide, was a robust, sumptuous mouthful of brandy laced Christmas pudding, with hints of toffee, walnut, orange and a more than obvious sense of age on the palate, like an old leather bound book, a pleasant surprise for a mere youngster in Taylor's vintage port family. There were none of those delectable refinements in the bottle I've just sampled however. The first sip of the vile, flavourless sugary syrup water, was enough to violate the palate of even the most unrefined port oficianado.
I've seriously tasted better sherry, what a total waste of money.
If you see this on offer, don't be tempted, or you'll regret it.
Go for anything half the price and spend the surplus on some good cheeses to go with it, you'll be glad you did.
Taylor's, what have you done!
