It's at WinesTilSoldOut and will probably disappear within the hour. Get it while you can!

iF i did not already own enough of this, at this great price, I'd be a buyer. It may be stagnating due to a weak appraisal by a Douro wine writer from the Wine Advocate, but it is a rather nice Crasto and for that money, I'd grab a six pack! This is a fine bottle of Douro wine.

In for one, and very tempted to get more.

How does it compare to the '06 Old Vines Reserva?

I can't find the Touriga Nacional on winesearcher.com, but I can get the Old Vines Reserva for about that same price.

Expand your horizons, as it can be found in Germany for $67, Poland for $69 ... but no listings in the US.

Yeah, I saw those. I should have been more specific - most of the time I only search for US stores because shipping overseas is such a PITA.

Glenn,
I hope you got some. As Roy already mentioned this is a very good bottle juice. I grabbed 2 bottles of this for drinking in the near future, as I already own a bunch of this that I'm letting age.
