Bidding advice
You can place bids either under the lot image on the main auction page or on the right side of the individual lot page.
Placing a Maximum Bid
Use the "Set your bid limit" button on the left side of the bidding panel to enter the highest amount you're willing to bid on a lot. Our system will then automatically raise your bid in set increments if you’re outbid, up to your maximum. If someone bids above your set limit, we’ll notify you by email so you can choose whether to increase your bid.
Placing a Single Bid
Alternatively, place a single bid by selecting the button on the right side of the bidding panel. The button displays the amount needed for the next increment. For example, if the current highest bid is £50.00, the button will show "+ £5.00" (reflecting a £5.00 increment).

Bottle Details
This 1993 vintage was the inaugural release of the legendary Essencia from the Royal Tokaji Wine Company. Bottled in 2002.
Essencia is the richest and sweetest of Tokaji wines, produced only in exceptional years from the free-run juice of the aszú berries. Royal Tokaji has offered a very limited quantity of Essencia- only a handful of times in its nineteen-year history. It is so incredibly rich and concentrated that it’s to be served in a spoon rather than a glass.
This wine was aged for nine years in glass jars and has 580 grams of sugar per litre.
