Default prickly merlot?

I still have a batch of merlot that I emptied out of bottles and put back
into a 3 gallon carboy because one bottle popped its cork, and other bottles
I opened I discovered a fizzy, prickly Merlot....
I had it in the 3 gallon carboy perhaps 2 months or so, hoping it would fizz
out by now, under an airlock...
But when I went to taste and try it today...still fizzy, still prickly
tasting.
what do you think is happening?
still fermenting? I thought at one point it had already been finished.
ML fermentation?
The merlot tastes good (from a juice from Ontario I bought)...
just....can't bottle it again/yet...

Any ideas of how to treat it?
Thanks.
Rick
