unmellowed
Not yet softened
Unmellowed describes something that hasn't softened or matured with time.
Wine or spirits that are unmellowed retain their harsh, raw edge.
A person's unmellowed temperament remains sharp or untempered by experience: His unmellowed anger surprised everyone after so many years.
The word implies that mellowing was expected but hasn't occurred.
