This was my New Years Eve port. By the time we finally got through all the other wines, the port was decanted about 12 hours(I was planning on 8-9). A nice fruity nose not over the top, nice mouth feel with rasin, plum, chocolate and later a lot of coffee. The only major flaw was the finish which was quite short. A nice wine but nothing special. 91-92 points.

BTW, the 85 Grahams was the wine that got me into port years ago... I'm glad I didn't drink this wine back then.

My first case purchase of a now 1500+ bottle collection was 85 Graham's. it was so good in the late 90's when it wa supposed to be too young. My recent experiences are similar to yours.
