From a nice looking bottle with a 3 cm fill, this wine had a deep yellow center and clear rims. The medium+ intensity nose was pretty oaky at first. After a couple hours it showed lemon, vanilla, and white stone.
Again, the mouth was a bit monotoned at first. However, after a couple hours it improved dramatically to show crisp acidity, nice balance, and very good length.
While not wildly complex, this was an attractive Premier Cru in the middle of its drinking window.

From an excellent looking bottle, this wine had a deep yellow center and clear rims. The medium intensity nose showed pear, citrus, vanilla, and some soil.
In the mouth, this wine was pretty soft at first. After several hours it firmed up nicely and developed attractive length. It had lovely balance.
While this was not a wildly complex wine, it was certainly attractive. It will last for at least 5 years but there is no reason to wait.

1992 Etienne Sauzet Puligny Premier Crus (San Francisco): Two tones darker in color than the Folatieres, Garenne, or Champs-Canet. Riper yellow stone fruit on the nose with some citrus, baking spices and minerals. Good concentration and depth, but lacking in acidity and overall seemingly a little tired and just past its best.

Another bottle from this batch looked and tasted just like the others. It was certainly best after 3+ hours of air.
Please see my prior notes. Enjoy!
