Sigma 85 f/1.4 DG HSM

I have one and it's ridiculously sharp. There will be portrait shooters that will whinge and moan that their <insert Canon/Nikon/Zeiss lens here> has beautiful bokeh/colour/whatever. They have not used this lens.
DPReview: " The Sigma 85mm F1.4 Art hasn't been on the market long, but it has already begun to make some serious waves. Lenstip and DxO have rated it the sharpest 85mm lens ever created, beating out even the legendary 85mm F1.4 Zeiss Otus, which isn't something that we take lightly. We were lucky enough to get our hands on the lens back in mid-November and we were very impressed to say the least, so much so that it took top honors for the 'Best Prime Lens of 2016' as chosen by our staff. "
Best part? Only $1200 (not on sale). The lead in was "Best portrait lens for the money." You're welcome. ;-)
