TeaCuppa also now has an aged TGY, which I'm curious about.
Imperial Tea Court has some 80's aged TGY that's inexpensive and pretty good. It's not quite as good as Hou De's or Jing's, but it really is still quite good and the price makes it a good one for more frequent drinking.
Of the aged TGY's I've had thus far, I like Hou De's the best.
For aged Wuyi you can also check out Grand tea. Their traditional Rou Gui is from 2003 and priced well. You might ask him what the year is on the others, he may have more aged Wuyi than just the rou gui.
A few of Jing's Wuyis have some age on them as well, such as the Bei Dou.
Aura Teas also has one or two aged oolongs.

I'm having a love affair with the aged Dan Cong sampler pack from Imem. I need more but unfortunately my house has decided it needs a new boiler and the plumbers quote did not take into consideration my need for lots of aged Dan Cong and my planned O-Cha order.
The cake of wuyi from teaspring is decent enough if you need a cheap hit of wuyi but I wouldn't stick it on my 'I need to explore aged oolong list'.

Yes, inspectoring, I drink daily their 509, which is an oolong 'king's tea', meaning it has ginseng added (at less than 3%, so they tell me). It is a beautiful thing, smoky, nutty, very clean finishing with hints of sweetness. It's a dark oolong. I recently bought their annual special oolong, which was expensive ($45 for 75g) but I have not opened it yet. The 509 has a price of $64 for 150g. I have been lately buying all of my oolongs there.

Are these TenRen teas _aged_ oolongs? My understanding was they weren't, and this thread is asking about aged oolongs.
BTW - I used to love to go to the TenRen store in chinatown when I lived in the bay area. Back then I mostly bought tea bags and had even less idea of what I was doing in regards to tea, but the store is cool. If you are in SF, definitely add it to your list of tea destinations.
