Beetroot wine

[RevA]

I am making a beetroot wine with Jack kellers recipe, made a 2.6 gal batch.
racked into carboy last night a tasted a bit and now I have a question for anyone who has made this wine before. It looks pretty good and smells pretty good, but will the strong beetroot taste remain after multiple rackings and aging?

For those who might wonder. The beetroot/earthy taste seems to become a little less prominent after a few months bulk aging. Still not sure it will ever be a favorite...but I have 12 bottles that will be tried from about six months from now.

How is the color holding up? We made one a long time ago, the Earthy taste stayed but the red color started to fade, we decided we liked them much better pickled than in wine WVMJ

Its gone from a nice deep purple red to a dark blush. Also think beetroot is for eating not drinking.
