We'll see if it actually happens, but I just ordered 4 x 2011 Graham's Stone Terraces. I was a little surprised to a) find it offered online, and b) be allowed to order 4.
This brings my total (ordered, not yet possessed) up to 7 bottles.

They're popping up here and there, as is the Capela and Taylors VVV. I've heard from some people in the retail side of a
little bit of customer who cancelled orders or certain upper end VP's not selling as well as initially expected. Which isn't a surprise as I'm sure for most people it's hard to justify spending 2+ times the amount of a regular VP for the "super VP's". Now us Port-nerds, that's a different story altogether.

I think the efforts of some producers trying to compete with Noval Nacional by creating new products to appeal to consumers (the old vine and terroir specific driven offerings) is going to be interesting to see if this can be sustained at the current asking prices.

I'm a Port-nerd and I haven't bitten for any of the new higher priced offerings except for a VVV when I found it for a steal. I'd just rather have more regular VP to drink than pay what they are asking. Maybe after I have some more tastes or as my cellar fills out I'll change my tune. (Oh, but I have bought some Nacionals.)

A case of 2007 Quinta do Crasto LBV to be shared with port friends.
I now have a 1998, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. As a rule, love their LBVs. I managed to get about eight additional 2006s in Penna this summer where they were on close out for $12.00 each (+ tax) which I thought was a steal.

1992 Quinta da Cavadinha
1994 Grahams
Got them both for $98 total--that seems pretty good to me. Price on 94 Grahams much lower than some I bought 2 years ago.

Man I would like to have daily drinks like yours!
Traded a few douro wines to a friend who wants to discover the region's dry wines.
Got Offley 97, 2x grahams 2000 and Dow's 2000. Offley will be opened very soon.
