I don't remember my last batch being sour tasting, but everything from the type & amount of honey used to the amount of spices used and even the yeast used could effect the taste. We just tried a bottle of my 2 year old batch and it was very nice and the spices were very mild, just kind of in the background and I got more of an aroma & taste from the honey then the apple juice. I also used Eucalyptus Honey last time and Orange Blossom Honey this time so that will change my flavor profile.
I thought the first batch was pretty good at bottling but after 2 years it has really improved. I have a habit of just bottling the wine, labeling it and putting it away so I can something else, rarely do I try many before they are at least a year old and more often 2.
