Sent Gibraltar wild with intimidating display (5-8)

I believe the answer is:

sabre-rattling

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'intimidating display' is the definition.
'sabre rattling' can be an answer for 'display' (I have seen 'display of aggression' mean 'sabre rattling' so perhaps 'display' could also mean 'sabre rattling'). I am unsure of the 'intimidating' bit.

'sent gibraltar wild' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'sent'+'gibraltar'='sentgibraltar'
'sentgibraltar' is an anagram of 'SABRE-RATTLING'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for sabre-rattling that I've seen is " Aggressive display of military power".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
