Here you go:
	http://members.aol.com/HungImprts/collection.htm

	Tokaji Royal Aszu Essencia	1993	.5l	1 for  $ 179.00
							3 for  $ 525.00
							6 for  $ 990.00

or the _really_ good stuff:

	Tokaji Aszu Eszencia		1957	.5l	$ 1,663.00 (6 bottles)

					1963	.5l	$ 1,475.00 "

					1947	.5l	$ 8,424.00 "

If I were you, I would go for the 1947 vintage.  :-)
