figurative: inducing respect
This is of course figurative in meaning and probably could mean something like commanding, inducing respect, i.e. you can't ignore the taste, you will respect its quality/flavour. Examples of use mostly non-figurative, that's what you may find disturbing as no 'authoritative person' is intended.
Example sentence:
In a commanding and self-confident manner that induces respect and obedience

powerful, well-defined
"Authoritative" also has a suggestion of "distinguished" or "noble", which are often applied to "big" wines.
I think it is good to use a word like "powerful" because "yet remarkably elegant" then makes more sense, i.e. power/strength balanced by elegance and finesse.
