Explanation:
From Essential Wine Guide (link 1):
VELVETY
Soft, thick, and smooth on the palate.
MOUTH FEEL
The way a wine feels (as opposed to tastes) in the mouth; e.g., thin, oily, sumptuous, or viscous.

I suppose 醇厚also describes 余味, thus the clean (淳) rich (厚) finish.
Link 2 has a lot of pages searched out using the key words here.

不好意思, 忘了将标题里的"long"改成"rich". 开始想用"long"来着, 后来觉得还是"rich" 更忠实于"厚"(thick在形容wine时不太常用).
