I thought I'd pass these along. *In Stock* at Premier Cru:
2003 Quinta do Noval VP - $55 -- http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/ ... neId=33635
2003 Croft VP - $47 -- http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/ ... neId=32178
I believe that these are the lowest prices in the world and are lower than the pre-arrival pricing.

PS. I hesitate to buy pre-arrival at premier cru, but their in stock wines are not a risk.
Some good prices on 2003 Vintage Port

Croft at that price is worth a case buy for those looking for cornerstones of a young cellar to build on!
The Noval, is also a good buy and a very fine VP at a good price.

Also, the price on the Noval is PHENOMENAL! $55Usd?? Come on... I just bought 1 bottle of this for $110Cdn/$100US less than a month ago. That is fantastic!

Although I note they are not open on Sunday... unfortunate. I arrive on Sunday morning which means I will have had all of Sunday to visit K&L Wines and Betramos prior to making it to premier cru, if I am able to get there during the weekdays that I am there.

This adds fuel to the theory that the release pricing of the 2003's was taken much too far, and that buyers stayed away as a consequence.
I suspect that American wine merchants may be a little more impatient to move slow moving stock than their English counterparts - this may well be an exercise in offloading 'at cost'.
I would be very pleased to see the opening prices brought down to earth, so that buying at first release made sense again. However that seems unlikely to happen overnight.
I'm beginning to wonder if 2005 will follow in the footsteps of 1931 - a superb vintage passed over for commercial reasons..
