100 yr old wine

[Joe Schmoe]

If it is an Aszu 5 or 6 puttonyos, I'm sure that it will have a value to a sweet wine fancier. WC is right that its provenence is important, as in Hungary, the bottles are stored upright, and the cork is replaced every 30 years or so. (Very bizarre) However, I have been fortunate to taste such a Tokaji that was nearly 100 years old, and due to the extreme level of botrytis and almost painful acidity (eiswein levels) that these wines generally have (given by the grape Harslevelu of 'Lime Leaf') they CAN go the distance even in the slightly less prestigious Aszu form. If it is Essencia, however, you may be looking at several hundred dollars worth from a good domaine. Is it wax sealed?
