I think generally the ruby and vintage ports seem sweeter than the tawny or colheita but there may be exceptions. I like the 10 and 20-year tawny ports or colheitas myself (the 10-year olds run about $20-$30 usually). They may have nutty flavors, dried fruit flavors (dried apricots, prunes, etc.), sometimes a caramel or burnt sugar aspect. Australia has some "ports" that can be enjoyable and are considerably cheaper than the real thing from Portugal. You might get a Hardys Whiskers Blake Port from Australia to compare to a Sandeman or Cockburn or other Tawny Port.
