Warre Otima is a good port. If you like bottle aged tawny, look for their Nimrod bottles. They are no longer being made and quite good.

I would not cellar any tawny or Colheita that long. Both are meant to be drunk right after bottling. I would not go more than 4 years after bottling date. The freshness and vibrancy fades in the bottle.
