I'm really surprised nobody followed my last post with "CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!"

So to put all the conjecture to rest, my first bottle was bad. My newly opened bottle of Bollinger is fine, both in taste and smell. Not bad at all, but I was hoping for a more complex/richer finish. Perhaps it could use a little more aging? An earlier poster mentioned that Bollinger was geared towards more of a British taste. From what I'm tasting, I'd tend to agree.

This is probably a topic for another thread, but are there any suggestions for other champagnes to try? Here's some thoughts on the champagnes I've tried:

Veuve Clicquot (Yellow label) - Found it to be extremely bland. Costco sells La Grande Dame for about ~$130. Is that worth trying?

Taittinger Brut - Good, but disliked the aftertaste (very yeasty/alcoholic).

Louis Roederer Brut Premier - Enjoyed it a lot. Seems to have a more complex flavor and better finish than the Bollinger.

Dom Perignon - It's been a few years since I've had it on the ground, but I've mostly had it in the air. The wine shop near me has a Vintage 2000 for ~$125...perhaps I should give it a try? Costco sells a non-vintage for about the same.

Krug - Still the ultimate. Great price at LHR duty free (95 Pounds/bottle) - plus they have splits!

So based on my tastes above, any recommendations? I don't drink very often, so I can buy something a bit more expensive than usual...but Krug is a bit too expensive
