A 50cl bottle of 1979 Tokaji Aszu 3 Puttonyos bottled by Tokajhegyalja State Winery and exported by Monimpex.
Tokaji is made from shrivelled, noble rot affected grapes, known locally as Aszú, that are fermented in vats of young wine or fermenting must, with the resulting wine measured by levels of residual sugar per litre. 3 Puttonyos indicates a sweetness level of at least 60 to 90 grams per litre of residual sugar, although this classification, along with the slightly sweeter 4 Puttonyos, was removed in 2014.
Please note there is no ABV stated on the bottle.

Condition
Please see images for fill level and label condition. Note general wear. Please note, the cork is low in the neck by approximately 3-4 mm. Due to the fragility of the
cork we recommend this for collection only, and it is shipped entirely at the buyer's own
risk.
The Whisky.Auction team has inspected this lot and found it to be suitable for sale. However, please note the absence of a condition statement does not imply that this lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of ageing. We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults. Older bottles often contain sediment. Wines are more fragile than spirits and older wines may be listed, at our discretion, for their historical interest rather than their drinkability. We can in no way guarantee that they are still within their plateau of maturity or to the buyer’s taste.
This bottle does not appear to be leaking. While we take every care to pack bottles securely we cannot guarantee that old corks and closures will not leak in transit.
