<p>The back label of a bottle of Expresion by Izadi, a 2000 Rioja, and the fifth wine we tried. First of the 2000s. We both enjoyed this one. I thought it was quite drinkable by itself, but Linda thought it would go better with food. </p>
Wine Label - Expresion - 2000
 <p>The front label of a bottle of Aalto PS, a 2000 Ribera del Duero, and the sixth wine we tried. We both enjoyed this one. I liked this one best in the 2000s, but Linda wasn’t wild about it at all. </p>

 <p>The front label of a bottle of Malleolus, a 2000 Ribera del Duero, and the eighth wine we tried (and last of the 2000s). Linda liked this one best in the 2000s but didn’t think it was a great wine. I thought it was just passable. </p>

 <p>The front label of a bottle of 200 Monges, a 2000 Rioja, and the seventh wine we tried. Probably fine if you like a woody wine, but Linda and I both felt it was overpoweringly woody (like chewing on an oak stump). This was by far our least favorite wine of the whole tasting. </p>

 <p>The front label of a bottle of Leda, a 2001 from Castilla y Leon, and the tenth wine we tried. This one was interesting in that most of the room had a pour from a bottle which had gone bad, and thus it made the bottom of the list initially. However, we ended up trying a fresh pour, and boy - what an incredible difference. The tasting from a good bottle elevated this one to one of my favorites in the 2001 batch. </p>

 <p>The front label of a bottle of Flor de Pingus, a 2001 Ribera del Duero, and the twelfth and last wine we tried. We both enjoyed this one - it had a touch of citrus. Will probably be an excellent wine in a couple of years. </p>

 <p>The front label of a bottle of Valsacro Dioro, a 2001 Rioja, and the eleventh wine we tried. We both enjoyed this one, and it’s woody aroma was pleasant and not overpowering. </p>

 <p>Part of the front label of a bottle of Abel Mendoza, a 2001 Rioja, and the ninth wine we tried. We both found this wine to be decent but not noteworthy. Had raspberry overtones. </p>
