Always one of my favourite, reliable, every-day drinking wines with good QPR. The 2000 is starting to decline though. Compared to an earlier tasting 6 months ago, I noticed the "bite" of spices of the Tempranillo grape are retreating. Still lots of red fruit. Drink very soon (i.e., H1 2005).

This is my second-ever Rioja. I drank some from first open and on through the evening, and the plum aroma came through more as time passed. Not very complex, but balanced. Though I found the wine enjoyable, it was nothing special at this price, and I probably won't buy it again.
