Ok, Calar means to try (ny taking a little piece out of it) so you know what you are dealing with.

ie: Quiera la sandia calada. (I do not want to take home a wtermelon that it is going to be unsavory.)

In the case you present I guess you want to say "of caliber" meaning that it was superb.

Digno de calar.

I hope it helps.

¿La frase completa es "de calado internacional"? Lo pregunto porque se suele usar en este sentido. "Calado" es la parte de un barco que se hunde en el agua y, por extensión, se aplica a algo grande o importante.

Is what I explained, albeit with some typos. :-)

I must have missed something. I thought he was trying to say that tantear = de calado.

Yeah, I spoke too soon and too much, de calado = important

and calar = kind of tantear.

Sorry for the mix up. :)
