I just bottled up a batch of elderberry wine I started last summer/fall. It cleared up real nice and looked good. The flavor is kind of strange. It seems to have a certain woody or resinous taste. I noticed it earlier and thought maybe it would age out by this time, but no. Does anyone know if this is normal or if it will age out in a year or so? The recipe says do not taste for at least one year. Could this be why, or did I just make a lousy batch? Any insight would be appreciated.
