Should I be concerned about my elderberry?

I came back from vacation to find my elderberry fairly yellowed. It might just a normal seasonal change (but it seems early - can't recall if it was this early in previous years), just some stress from harsh conditions (not enough water, hot weather) or if it requires intervention.

It fruited beautifully this year, I can't see any pests...

Your stems look strong and berries look large and firm. Did you experience water stress this year either too much or too little?

No big droughts, but we had fairly hot spells. There were also lots of aphids early in the season, but predators eventually moved in and took care of that. The plant didn't seem affected then, but could it be an aftershock, or some kind of virus that the aphids transmitted?
