what was it and what year was it?

it's all just supply & demand

Look at Porsches - you are familiar with the supply of early 911s vs. bumper car 911s vs. 550s - right?

The demand side is driven not just by taste (driving fun) but also by bragging rights.

An old French wine from a very tasty single vineyard in Burgundy can cost $4,000 or more.

Bordeaux can also taste pretty good -- for a blend.
