I have 2 gallons of elderberry wine on the go. However they're coming
out fairly tart, I picked the berries a touch early I think. Alcohol is
roughly estimated at 13%.

It has a very subtle port undertone, I'd love to bring this out a bit
more. Currently I'm thinking of adding more sugar to max the alcohol
out and sweeten it up a bit. What else could I do to improve the
flavour? Something is screaming vanilla at me, but maybe because I'm
thinking of making pear wine with vanilla and saffron.

"Time".

Head down to the nearest winemaking shop and ask for a "long weight".

Ditto. If they were in fact picked a little early, only time will smooth it out.

Yes, but it takes while before it can be delivered.
