Black cherry, plum, leather, camphor, burnt earth and roses inform the bouquet. Full-bodied and fruit-driven with cherry liqueur, licorice and spices. Flesh, tenacity and grip are all Ravera while ripeness and warmth at the back speak to the vintage. Sound structure means no rush to broach this. Not the last word in complexity, just insane value back in the day. Noteworthy in the way of how it juxtaposes with earthier and sassier expressions from outside Barolo. — ★★★½

Critic Reviews:
Cogno's 2011 Barolo Cascina Nuova is bright, precise and crystalline to the core. Sweet red berries, tobacco, mint, pine and anise all jump from the glass. This is one of the more brilliant Barolos of the vintage, but then again, that is what Ravera is all about. Insistent veins of minerality support the chiseled finish. Drink: 2016-2031.

Extremely fresh and pure, this red exhibits rose, strawberry and cherry flavors, with accents of licorice and leather. Balanced and elegant, revealing a long, resonant aftertaste of sticks and stones. Beautiful harmony.
Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator, 12/2015) 94
The 2011 Barolo Cascina Nuova is a balanced and pretty expression that does a great job of presenting aromas of cherry, tar, licorice and grilled herb with equal billing. The wine is made with the estate's younger Nebbiolo vines for a more immediate and approachable style. There is a touch of green herb or olive on the finish that distinguishes it from its peers.
Monica Larner (Wine Advocate, 06/2015) 91
Bottled in August 2014. Fermented in stainless steel and when there was about 30 g/l sugar left the tank was closed and the cap kept submerged in the wine. 35 days on the skins. Healthy mid ruby with orange tinges. Dusty, deep nose of red ripe fruit. Quite savoury too, with hints of liquorice. Immediate, succulent yet a little austere. Pure cherry fruit with a fine tannic structure. A little lean for the moment but great potential.
Walter Speller (Jancis Robinson, 03/2014) 17+
Forest floor, truffle, wild berry and a whiff of grilled herb unfold on this full-bodied red. The savory, structured palate displays ripe black cherry, crushed raspberry, licorice, clove and a hint of chewing tobacco alongside a firm, tannic backbone. Drink 2019–2031.

Raven was initially on standby for whenever the titans might need fast travel too and from a location under urgent situations but this proved to be a tougher task than it was initially supposed to be which became apparent after the area she was situated in being broken into whilst she was in the midst of helping people to transport from one place to another, almost reaching the end of her limit given how this was over two weeks in and her human half was in need of rest.

This was a request from a while back, just storing it here with the rest of my DC art stash as a method of categorisation since my interests vary heavily although DC is a main interest.
