1985 Grahams Vintage Port

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.
