Default musty smell/taste

I agree that the problem is probably due to being left with the dead yeast in the bottom of the jar for too long. Rack the wine as soon as possible, and test it for specific gravity, if it is not at full strength then add more sugar or fruit juice. As suggested before you could add to a very sweet wine or use it for cooking. It would be ideal for deglazing to make a sauce.
