Pete I was disappointed that I couldn't spot the rubber boot smell in my Trebbiano, the Grenache Rose was undrinkable and the Merlott was over oaked. They all had basic faults that I didn't spot.
On top of that I made some adjustments to the GF13 musts that resulted in 2 batches of red wine with very high acid levels and 2 other batches suffered from sulphur smells that I have struggled to get rid of.
It kind of knocked my confidence in my ability a bit. This is my 4th year of winemaking and I feel I should be better at spotting problems and solving them.
