The colour of blackberry rapidly fades when exposed to light. If storing in bulk, cover container with black bin liner and use dark bottles, avoiding direct sunlight.
If my similar experiment with raspberries and dried elderberries is anything to go by, the flavour changes significantly for the better in just a couple of weeks. It doesn't resemble any red wine I've ever tasted, but it's very nice. Having said that, I recently tasted a British red, for which the same could be said. My partner commented, 'It tastes like the stuff you make!'
