Sour beer over herbed with Basil

Just brewed a sour with Basil thrown in at flameout. Now 6 weeks into the fermenter with WLP648 there's not much sourness and a bit (overwhelming) flavour of Basil.

I was wondering what my options were to fix this. The Basil flavour should be less intense, so my options are:

  • Mixing it with another (probably pure) sour lambic without any herbs
  • Wait for a few months to get it more sour and hope the herb taste fizzles out

I don't have a lot of experience with lambics or with herbs in beer, so wanted to get some feedback on what to expect after aging it for another few months.
