I found http://www.theportforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=9349#9349 (only the first three comments are pertinent) and http://www.theportforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=1207 (only the first two) interesting.
Eight port enthusiasts decanted a 45yo magnum of port five ways, from pouring it by eye until the sediment appears then filtering it to deliberately sloshing the sediment around then pouring it through a coffee filter. Vexingly, they didn't do the resulting drink test blind (although they did agree that "If any claim that any two can be distinguished, and that isn’t the general consensus, that person will be sent from the room and his/her glasses shuffled"), but it's still interesting to read that they felt that "the decanting method makes, at most, very little difference", even if you do something (the sloshing) which is supposedly a definite no-no.
