It means "genuine".
It's an abbreviation of "de buena ley" (said of gold or silver, but applied to people and things...) (Colloquial) (Applied to persons could also be "loyal", but in this context, I'd go with some equivalent like "cool stuff") By the way, "tío" here is not "aunt" nor "uncle" but something like "dude".

Claro, ¡sabrosona! (Pero no me parece que sea ese sentido en el contexto del preguntante original...)
Y sí, viejar es siempre una experiencia muy rica...
