Absolutely wonderful wine -- complex and exciting, with lots of zest and toasty flavors. But where it really excelled was the finish -- long, long, long with the yeastiness and toast flavors really lingering on the palate.
A very nice bottle of wine, although I don't think I could shell out the bucks for it (it was a gift.)

  Such is wine. The difference between a $5 bottle of wine and a $20 bottle of wine can be huge. The difference between a $25 bottle and a $50 may not be quite as significant. $75 to $150, ???
  There usually is a difference, but you can't expect a tripling effect between a good $50 champagne and a $150.
  That's why I suggested a double tasting. If you take a wine that you have a respect for and compare it side by side with a much higher regarded wine, you may find the quantum leap. Or not.

  Glad you liked it. You're evaluation is spot on. A "noble" champagne, it differs so much from the young stuff because so many old reserve wines constitutue its asemblage. This is the real thing.
