I do not get the after taste on all batches.
My thoughts on possible causes-- bulk age for 6 months in carboy, too much oak, might be over sanitizing, not racking enough. Appreciate any thoughts.

Also, how long should a sealed pack of yeast last?
 
Currently I leave in a carboy from Oct to May, temp is 55 degree, keep topped up, use airlock
 
What wines are you making? White, red, other? If I understand correctly, you're not getting an aftertaste from some carboys?

Wine goes through cycles why it is aging, and it's entirely possible some carboys are on a downswing. I would not worry too much at this point. If the aftertaste remains muted, things can be adjusted later.
