I left a batch of italian primitivo on the skins for almost a month and used RC-212 yeast. It's 4 months old and been in the bottle for 1 month. It tastes 'purple/grapey', full bodied, medium+ oak and has a sour twang on the finish. Not awful, but present.

Questions:

  1. Is this flavour what's known as over extraction ?
  2. Will this mellow out with age?
