It’s hard to tell exactly what may be the issue because wines that just finish fermenting and are so young often have “funny” smells and do indeed not smell like the finished wine that you are used to buying off a shelf. It’s hard to know if you are experiencing a bacteria or yeast-caused issue. If you didn’t complete primary fermentation it’s possible that you still may have active yeast that are possibly finishing a very long, protracted alcoholic fermentation. This would explain the “funny” odor and a release of carbon dioxide. Your wine may also be going through malolactic fermentation (MLF), which is brokered by lactic acid bacteria. I’ve seen the volatile acidity creep on wines undergoing MLF, especially if there happens to be a bit of residual sugar sitting in the wine. If, however, you’ve sent the wine out for analysis and your residual sugar is less than 0.20 g/100 mL (dry), your wine is ML complete, and your volatile acidity is climbing, I would suspect bacteria. Acetic acid, or vinegar, in wine is most commonly caused by
