Score 95/100 · Drink 2015-2030, Jay S Miller, Wine Advocate, Feb 2008
The 2005 Calchetas is composed of 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Malbec aged for 19 months in 500-liter French oak. Opaque purple-colored, it delivers a complex perfume of pain grille, mineral, earth, spice box, black currant, and black cherry. Bordering on opulent, with layers of ripe, sweet fruit and great balance, this full-flavored effort needs 4-6 years of additional cellaring to reveal its full potential. It will be at its best from 2015-2030. Importer: Patrick Mata, Ole Imports; www.oleimports.com
