Default Not completely clearified

After bottling about 125 bottles of Merlot, I discover to much of
disappointment, that the wine is not completely clarified. Before I
open a 3 months old bottle I see serious amount of sediment in the
bottle (the "side" that faces down in a sample of 5) The wine does not
taste good. I do not know what went wrong. I argue with my friend that
the wine will never be any good so we could just as well open it all,
pour it into few carboys, try again to let it clarify for few weeks,
clean the bottles and rebottle the wine.

So my question is, is it of any use opening the bottles and try the
clarification process again and rebottle?

Thanks all.
