A touch of it can enhance a wine, a bit more can be an excuse. Why, in my experience, are Pinot Noir especially affected by this?
But you are right about missing some great wine. France makes some incredible wines. They've had decades to find the right grapes,the right methods, and the right earth. Australia and the U.S. have had a major effect on the wine world; more fruit and less tannins. Drink it now and forego some of the complexity.
Everyone should try a great Sauternes once. Ch.d'Yquem can be a revelation. As for reds, I've never had a great 1st Growth, I have had a great 'Cos. I've never had a California that approached it.
