I have a different view of pinots & for me to-date, only true Burgundy shows the grape at its best. But I'll keep trying.

Absolutely - drink what you like. BTW, the bitter taste in the $65 may well mean it is not yet ready to drink yet.
I opened a 199 Savigny tonight b/c I finished off the last of the 1996 Barbaresco.
I'm happy with Orygun pinots tho, and my goal is to drink (and force others to drink) pinots from every part of the world.
I've had very good pinots from NZ BTW; I think nothing tastes like Burgundy b/c no one else has the limestone in the soil. But some Oregon pinots can confuse sophisticated Burg. swillers if tasted blind. I know b/c I have tricked them several times...
