Strawberry wine aftertaste

[Schatzie]

Hi Everyone, hope all is well!
My strawberry wine I made(fresh fruit ), came out looking beautiful. I'ts been bottled, the smell is wonderful but the aftertaste is less than desirable. I back sweeten it, Maybe not enough... it has a bitter taste to it. Any suggestions? Mixing it as a wine cooler its ok ,but i rather drink it straight. Thanks ,Schatzie

excessive tannins will sometime cause a bitterness. can be removed using gelatin but since bottled not very practical.
I assume you know that Schatzie means sweetheart in German
