Is the '85 (99% shiraz, 1% cab sav...mmmnnnn yum) of particular relevance? A special year perhaps?

Hi Kerrie,
The Grange Hermitage was a birthday gift to me on my 50th some years ago. My three kids all contributed (or collaborated) to purchase it for me.
Jen was born in '83. Soon after I purchased a dozen bottles of '83 vintage port. Years later I presented the port to Jen on her 21st. I did the same with Andrew. It took quite a lot of self discipline to keep all those bottles in tact.
Australians have a habit of naming things as opposite. Like a guy with red hair is called "Blue". I got "Baddad".
So the year itself on the Grange is not anything special. Its just that the vintage was available at that time when I turned 50.
Cheers Marty
