I once bought an elderberry wine kit from nichols Nursery It had dried 
elderberries in it and i think we poured boiling water over it.  It smelled 
wonderful at that point and made very nice wine.  On the strength of that i 
bought nova and york which are not Sambucas nigra but S. canadensis if i 
rember right.  They never smelled or tasted good enough for me to want to put 
in the effort to make wine or infact anything else out of them even thought 
as you said Lon they were bread for size and flavor.  I never did ask  
Nichols what kind of elderberry was in the kits and I'm sure it's been far 
too long for them to know anymore.  I thoguht it might be S. nigra  just 
because it was so much better than my plants.
