I have some wine it's right around 12% alcohol. Already fermented. I was letting it sit in the glass carboy so all the sediment and stuff could fall to the bottom and it could age and stuff. Well when it first finished fermenting it smelled like wine. Now after it's been sitting there for about 2 weeks it's lost the wine smell and smells off now. I can't describe it. It's more of a musty smelling wine. I still have the air lock on it. My question is. What am I smelling and how do I get rid of it? I haven't added any sorbate to it yet. I was gonna do that the day before I filter and bottle it. I was told not to let any oxygen get to it after it's done fermenting but I guess I have some how. Anyways... any help is appreciated thanks. Oh I just remembered. Right after it was done fermenting I did add some K-Meta. I didn't use much maybe I should add more? Maybe rack it 1 last time? Anyways thanks again.
