Default Stored bottle has sticky top

First, I have forgottten 80% of whatever I knew about wine.

Years ago I bought a bottle of Vintage Port wine, while visiting a winery in
Oporto, Portugal. I recently took a look at this 35 year old bottle, and
found that there is a sticky substance on the top of the bottle, as though
something was slowly oozing through the cork/covering. Is this a bad thing?
Have I finally waited too long to open this bottle?

Please. Any advise here is appreciated.

John
