It's one thing to list a great port -- it's another to be able to find one!

Here are a few you can get right now:
2005 Chryseia (Portugal) ($29.99)

Warre Otima 10 year Tawny .500ml $18.99
90 points Wine Spectator

RL Buller also makes incredible dessert wines -- personal favorites:

R.L. Buller Muscat (Australia) 375ml $15.99

R.L. Buller Tokay (Australia) 375ml $15.99

If you can go up to the $50, also consider:

I recommend Graham's Six Grapes Port. It is delicious.

Tawny port: Hardy's Whiskers Blake ($12) or Fonseca ($16); Ruby port: Graham's Six Grapes ($18) or Fonseca ($17) We did a blind taste testing about a year ago, and the Fonseca took top honor in both Tawny and Ruby, beating out some bottles as high as $80.

Powers out of Kennewick, WA but it's tough to find.

Chowhound recommends the Quarles Harris 10 year Tawny, for $15 and the Smith Woodhouse 10 year Tawny, which is a little more than $20 most places, but apparently can be found at Trader Joe's for around $16.

Jason,

My brother in law, that writes cheapwineratings.com posted this about a dessert wine back in November 2008.

"The Broadbent Madeira Reserve has been aged for 5 years. The grapes in this wine include Negra Mole, Complexa, Tinta da Madeira and Triunfo. While not as refined as some vintage Madeiras aged for 20 years or more, this is still a very good and interesting treat.

The color is a rusty caramel hue. The nose presents a smoky, molasses bouquet with a hint of orange peel. The orange came out a lot stronger on the palate, along with toffee, figs and nutmeg. The toffee flavor lingers on the finish, which also brings a touch of heat."
