I bought 5 of the 6 bottles of 2001 Catena Zapata (for those who don't know, a stunning meritage from Argentina's Nicolas Catena of which I believe 300-400 cases are available worldwide outside Argentina per vintage) that were imported into St. Louis last year. It was, without a doubt, the best wine I have ever had.
Mere words would not do justice to its color, body, fragrance, complexity, or finish. IIRC, anise, blackberry, black cherries, coffee and cardamom were a few of the more memorable notes in a ridiculously delicious and complex wine.

Alas, the entire stash was consumed en masse at a dinner we hosted for five couples. Everyone said, "great wine" and swilled con gusto. Great wine is meant to be enjoyed, no?

Afterwards my wife asked how much we spent on the wine, since it was so good. That was not a pleasant conversation.
