Amadeus 2005 : La Revue du  Vin de France - Mai 2007 :
   "Légère réduction au premier nez, qui laisse apparaître une très jolie complexité épicée.   Superbe matière, expression poivrée dominante.   Bouche ferme, concentrée, très belle longueur. Excellent."
Note : 16 / 20

Amadeus 2004 : Le guide hubert des vins : Tenor de l'année 2007
   - "Un nez un peu sauvage, avec des épices, du cuir, du fruité confit. La bouche a de la tenue, avec de beaux tanins lissés."

Note : 4 / 5

Amadeus 2004 : winescout.info :
   - "Perhaps the most singular wines of the tasting came from Domaine Saint-Guilhem. If you do not like strong wines these will not be your kind at all, but if you do and if you love intensity, power, earthy and strong tannins, and loads and loads of rustic fruit, this could be your producer. Not all wines were perfect, but especially the "Amadeus" range was quite impressive. Objectively the most beautiful of all, not the most ambitious however (considering the amount of wood), but a really great wine with an impressive intensity and symphony of aromatic nuances (albeit a bit rustic) and an impeccable balance" Karel Meesters. lire la suite >>

Amadeus 2002 : Guide Hachette 2004 :
   "Un assemblage à parts égales de négrette et de syrah. Sous une robe foncée, burlat, apparaît un nez intense, axé sur les fruits noirs surmûris, les épices macérées dans l'eau-de-vie sous couvert boisé. D'attaque souple et ronde, la bouche est plaisante grâce à une structure tannique bien enveloppée. La finale encore un peu austère persiste sur le poivre, les fruits très mûrs et des notes empyreumatiques marquées. Un bon potentiel de garde."

Amadeus 2001 : Coup de coeur du guide Hachette 2004 :
   "Une somptueuse cuvée Amadeus, pourpre aux reflets intenses. Le bois et le vin se marient harmonieusement dans une palette riche de touches aromatiques. Plus impressionnante encore est la bouche, structurée et volumineuse, qui traduit une extraction judicieuse du fruit et un élevage en fût bien maîtrisée. Une boutielle promise à un bel avenir dans les quatres ou cinq ans. La cuvée Renaissance 2001 rouge, élevée quatorze mois sous bois, obtient la même note."

Amadeus 2002 : Guide Hachette 2004 :
   "A equal mixture of Négrette and Syrah. From its deep hue comes an intense nose of both overripe black fruit, macerated spices in alcohol with oaky aromas. It is supple and round on the first taste, with a pleasant palate thanks to a silky, tannic structure. The finish, still a bit austere, persists with notes of pepper, very ripe fruit and notable  (empyreumatiques ) hints. Good ageing potential."

Amadeus 2001 : Best Buy’ (‘coup de coeur’) of the Guide Hachette 2004 :
  "A sumptuous Amadeus cuvée, purple, with deep tints. The oak is well-intergrated and harmonious, with a rich palette of aromatics. 
The palate is more impressive still, structured, full-bodied, reflecting good fruit extraction  and careful, well-managed maturation in barrel. 
This is a wine which shows a lot of promise, drink within four to five years.  The cuvée Renaissance 2001 (red), matured in barrel for fourteen months, receives the same mark."
