The 2005 Calvario has an intense, ostentatious bouquet with ripe blueberry and cassis that is technically sound, but I feel is missing a sense of place. The palate has a sweet entry with crisp, strict tannins. The oak is well-integrated and clean though surprisingly, there is still some puppy fat towards the finish. Drink 2015-2025+.
