I am assuming the cheap one is a misprint as it's listed as a .375ml. To my knowledge they've never made VVV in a 1/2 bottle format for sale, or released a 2005 version. That $25 price is correct for the regular Vargellas.

I've taken a look at the photos that I have, but I don't have one of a Vinha Velha - sorry.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Hey

Maybe i can help - Ive looked at Laurentiwines web page, and the Taylors VVV 2005 has a different label, compare with my VVV 95
My VVV 95 label, is written -Vinha Velha - shown

Taylors
Quinta de Vargellas
Vinha Velha
Vintage Port


I dont think its a Vinha Velha
Any time not spend drinking port, is a waste of time.
