Curious,
I take the term "under-fermented" to mean some sugar remains in a wine, but
I don't know what you mean be "over-fermented."
I associate a decline in "fruit" character and perhaps a bit of oxidation in
"over-aged" wines, but I don't associate "foul" odors with old wines.
Could you rephrase your question?
