Champagne tasting request

I am looking for tasting notes on a bottle of champagne I picked up this afternoon. It is the 1990 Millesime Brut from Duval-Leroy. This is the wine whose label was painted and signed by LeRoy Neiman the artist. Actually I guess he didn't paint the label he instead painted and signed a canvas from which the label was copied. the front label shows a gentleman and a lady dancing or embracing. The gentleman in a dark suit, and the lady in a bright yellow dress. She is also wearing a large(ish) hat of the same color. Any information greatly appreciated. and if someone knows, should it be drunk up or cellared assuming decent storage.

Does this cuvée have a name? I know they did "Elegance", "des Roys" and "Femmes" this year. A friend of mine has all three, but the only we've tried is the "Femmes" which was a lovely and crisp and ripe, but still rather young (though I admit I like my champs to have a touch of maderisation on them). Can you post a picture of the label?

Sorry Otto, yes it is the Elegance.

Bobby, you are really going high class on us! Wow! That sounds like a really nice bottle.

The price was (I hope) right James, at $30 it's not a lot to lose, but if I do lose it I'll cry...you know I will.

Bob, did you buy it at a shop (LB?) or from an individual? The price is low enough to make me wonder about storage, particularly if it's being dumped on a bin-end sale. Still, at that price tag it's not the end of the world if it's a deader.

Purchased at the LB off the close out shelf. The regular wine guy was not in the store or I would have checked the provenance, but like you said, it's not the end of the world. If we can get a Cincy offline set up in the next couple months, I will take it to that. the Cincy wine Experience is coming up toward the end of March so maybe then.
