I never thought to taste my samples after measuring TA. They always look so scary

Blackberry wine is in bottle and we will see how the flavor changes with time. Fingers crossed!
I tried the wine and thought it could use more sweetening. I will have to uncork each bottle and put in a squirt of the wine conditioner. The wine was a big hit with the family after this extra sweetening and I think my blackberry wine needs to be sweet to be enjoyable.
On the next batch I would rather just add sugar and sorbate, and I looked at Jack Keller's recipe, but he did not have instructions for backsweetening.

Once again, time is my friend. The blackberry wine is getting better. I notice much more aroma, and a smell that I associate with Kmeta additions has mostly disappeared. All these problems may be due to bottle shock. I just don’t know, but I am learning to just forget about the wine and let it set. This is not always the solution, but about 75% of the time it works.
The wine always seems better on the second glass. I also think this blackberry wine pairs well with a fresh goat cheese and crackers. The cheese completely masks any bitterness and meshes with the light sweetness. Pretty happy with the wine and I don’t think that it needs to be sweeter.
