The Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2016, sold through Wines of Kings, is a high-end Bolgheri red priced at $1,874.89 for non-members, with a member price of $1,781.15 (a 5% discount) available through the retailer's $199 membership program, which also includes benefits like free shipping on larger orders and sommelier access.
This vintage received a 100-point score from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate in January 2019, reviewed by critic Monica Larner, who described it as showing "pinpoint sharpness and precision" with notes of blackberry, ripe cherry, grilled herb, and barbecue spice, comparing it favorably to the celebrated 1985 vintage. This is a legitimate, attributable third-party critic score rather than a brand-generated claim.
No customer review count or star rating was visible on the product page itself; the evaluation available is the professional critic score noted above rather than a body of verified buyer reviews.
For collectors and serious wine buyers, the 2016 Sassicaia's perfect Wine Advocate score makes a strong case on its own, and Wines of Kings' membership program offers a modest discount path for repeat buyers of wines at this price tier.
